The swanky 4,445-square-foot estate features four bedrooms, five bathrooms and “an open floor plan, hardwood floors, and high ceilings…multiple fireplaces and a top-of-the-line gourmet kitchen.” Avid Drake fans will be quick to note that this somewhat fulfills lyrics that the Canadian rapper dropped in July of 2015 on friend and Summer 16 tour co-headliner Future’s track, “Where Ya At” where Drizzy goes so far as to boast that “I’ll buy the neighbor’s house if they complain about the noise.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4488239/drake-homes-where-ya-at/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4488239/drake-homes-where-ya-at/"},"headline":"Drake Might Have Fulfilled His Own Promise By Buying His Neighbor's Massive Mansion","datePublished":"2016-09-12T20:39:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:27.428Z","description":"Where ya at?","url":"https://time.com/4488239/drake-homes-where-ya-at/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","future","Drake","celebrity","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt179a3cd7a1a4268f/6988a59d196cf4b28203d28d/drake-buys-neighbors-house.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt179a3cd7a1a4268f/6988a59d196cf4b28203d28d/drake-buys-neighbors-house.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Drake Concert After Party At Hakkasan Las Vegas Nightclub","caption":"Drake Concert After Party At Hakkasan Las Vegas Nightclub","creditText":"Gabe Ginsberg—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4488239/drake-homes-where-ya-at/","name":"Drake Might Have Fulfilled His Own Promise By Buying His Neighbor's Massive Mansion"}}]}] ```
