Kodak Black House: From Projects to $1.8-$3 Million-Dollar Homes

Kodak Black grew up in Golden Acres, a public housing project in Pompano Beach, Florida. A decade into his career, the rapper owns a $1.8 million home in Coral Springs, bought his mother a $3 million mansion, and holds a $1.8 million commercial site on Hammondville Road, a short drive from the apartments where he was raised.

His property story is less about one trophy mansion and more about a pattern: he has kept his money in Broward County, close to the neighborhood that shaped him.

Here is what is on record about where he lives, what he has bought, and how Golden Acres keeps showing up in his spending.

Where Does Kodak Black Live? His Coral Springs Home

In February 2022, Kodak paid about $1.8 million for a house in Coral Springs, a planned suburban city in northwest Broward County. According to South Florida property reporting by The Real Deal, the home measures roughly 6,506 square feet with five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, which gives him far more room than the modest apartment units he grew up in.

Coral Springs fits the way he has handled real estate so far. It is quiet, residential and about 20 minutes from Pompano Beach, so he stayed within reach of family and his old neighborhood instead of moving to Miami Beach or Los Angeles like many rappers at his level. Local outlets have since described him as a Coral Springs resident when covering his legal cases.

Some celebrity-home sites also link him to a five-bedroom house in Miramar with a pool and patio. That property has not been confirmed in mainstream real estate reporting, so treat it as unverified. The Coral Springs purchase is the one backed by transaction records. You may also see it described as a “$1.9 million mansion” in videos and on celebrity sites, sometimes with a smaller square footage. The reported sale price was about $1.8 million.

Kodak has not released an official house tour of the Coral Springs home, so photos and clips circulating online are not confirmed views of the interior.

Does Kodak Black Live in Baltimore?

In December 2024, a clip of Kodak saying he “lives in Baltimore now” went viral on social media. No property purchase in Baltimore or anywhere in Maryland has been reported, and there are no public records tying him to a home there. Until that changes, the claim is best treated as a passing comment. Every home linked to him in property records is in South Florida.

The $3 Million Mansion He Bought for His Mother

Kodak’s most talked-about purchase was not for himself. In February 2022, around his mother Marcelene Octave’s birthday, he announced on Instagram that he had bought her a new mansion worth $3 million, paid in cash.

The timing made headlines for another reason. The announcement came days after he was shot in the leg outside a party in Los Angeles. In his post he called it a “minor incident” and said he was grateful he wasn’t too late to “put a smile on momma face.” The same weekend he also shared that he had given friends cash and watches and bought his mother a Birkin bag.

For a son raised by a single mother in public housing, the gift closed a loop. She had raised him in Golden Acres on a tight budget; eight years after “No Flockin” first put him on the map, she had a house of her own.

The $1.8 Million Pompano Beach Commercial Property

In February 2023, Kodak moved into commercial real estate. Under his legal name, Bill Kahan Kapri, he paid $1.8 million for a 0.7-acre assemblage at 1511-1547 Hammondville Road in Pompano Beach. The site holds two single-story commercial buildings from the late 1950s, one of about 3,800 square feet and one of about 4,900 square feet.

Reports on the sale said he planned to turn the site into a “luxurious retail space” that could include a restaurant. He was weighing whether to renovate one building and tear down the other to build new retail from the ground up.

The location is the point. Hammondville Road runs through the northwest Pompano Beach area near Golden Acres, so the purchase puts his money into the part of town he came from rather than into a flashier market. It also gives him an asset that can earn rent long after streaming royalties from his early hits slow down.

From Golden Acres to Property Owner

Kodak Black was born Dieuson Octave on June 11, 1997, and raised by his mother in Golden Acres. Among his childhood friends there was future NFL quarterback Lamar Jackson. He has spoken openly about the violence and poverty around him growing up, and he started rapping in elementary school. At 12 he joined the local group Brutal Youngz, and in May 2018 he legally changed his name to Bill Kahan Kapri.

His 2014 single “No Flockin” brought regional attention. Commercial success followed with “Painting Pictures” (2017), which reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and “Dying to Live” (2018), which hit No. 1 and produced “Zeze,” a No. 2 Hot 100 single. Later albums include “Back for Everything” (2022, No. 2), “Kutthroat Bill: Vol. 1” (2022), “When I Was Dead” (2023) and “Just Getting Started” (2025).

Legal trouble slowed his earning years. In November 2019 he was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for making false statements on firearm purchase forms. President Donald Trump commuted the sentence on January 19, 2021, and both home purchases came within about a year of his release.

His Earlier Pembroke Pines Home and the 2018 House Party Raid

Before Coral Springs, Kodak lived in a house in Pembroke Pines, another Broward County suburb, reported at the time to be worth around $1 million. That home made national news in January 2018 for the wrong reasons.

He was on house arrest after returning home in June 2017. On January 18, 2018, friends streamed a gathering at the house on Instagram Live, and the footage showed marijuana smoke in a bathroom where his young son was present, along with a handgun. Days later, Broward Sheriff’s deputies raided the house. They reported finding about 95 grams of marijuana and a stolen Beretta handgun in his closet.

He was arrested on seven felony charges, including grand theft, illegal possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, child neglect and marijuana possession. The episode is why searches for a “Kodak Black house party” still lead back to this home.

Giving Back to Golden Acres

Kodak’s real estate story is tied to his hometown project in a way most celebrity property stories are not. Here is his record of support for the community:

• July 2021: He donated about 100 window air conditioning units to Golden Acres residents, a purchase reported at over $12,000.
• 2022: He paid the overdue rent for 28 Pompano Beach families facing eviction and covered their rent for several more months. He said on Instagram they would be “good for the remaining of the year.”
• March and April 2025: He paid the rent for more than 200 residents of Golden Acres, the entire project, for two months in a row. The April payment became public after a local property manager posted about it on Facebook, since Kodak had not announced it himself.

This matters for a housing article because it shows where his money goes. He owns a comfortable suburban home and a commercial site, but a steady share of his spending has gone to keeping families in the same apartments he grew up in.

Kodak Black’s Property Timeline

• January 2018: Police raid his Pembroke Pines home after an Instagram Live party while he is on house arrest.
• February 2022: Buys a Coral Springs home for about $1.8 million.
• February 2022: Gifts his mother a $3 million mansion.
• February 2023: Buys the Hammondville Road commercial site in Pompano Beach for $1.8 million.
• March–April 2025: Covers two months of rent for more than 200 Golden Acres residents (a donation, not a property purchase).

Net worth estimates for Kodak vary widely from one source to another, so the numbers above are a more reliable picture of his wealth than any single headline figure. Together, his recorded real estate spending comes to roughly $6.6 million.

What His Properties Say About Him

The Kodak Black house story is not about the biggest mansion in hip-hop. It is about a rapper who bought a family home in the suburbs, gave his mother a house, and invested in commercial property near the housing project where he started out.

His headlines are often about arrests and court dates. His property records point to someone thinking about family security and his hometown. Both are part of the same person, and for someone raised in public housing, owning a home, gifting one and paying rent for an entire project are milestones that stand on their own.
