Life hits you hard and quickly. Powered by the arm of backup quarterback Nick Foles and head coach Doug Pederson’s brilliant play-calling, the Philadelphia Eagles rode to an improbable Super Bowl victory in 2018.

Only six players from the winning squad are returning for a second shot at a Super Bowl ring, even though the Eagles are back in the big game five years later.


NFL players are nomads; quarterbacks Carson Wentz and Nick Foles are long gone, head coach Brian Pederson was fired following a dismal 2020 campaign, and almost every other member of that legendary team is a living example of this.
Since then, the 2017 team’s properties in the southern New Jersey suburbs and the Philadelphia metro area have been sold to new owners. That’s the professional sports life.


While faces may change, one thing never changes: the players that suit up every Sunday need opulent lodging.

The boys in green have a whole new group of individuals to deal with, in addition to a number of fascinating off-field real estate transactions.

Let’s begin at the top, where nothing has changed at all.


Jeffrey Lurie is the owner.

The Eagles’ longstanding owner builds his nest along Philadelphia’s Main Line, as we reported five years ago. Owning Inwood, a historic estate in Wynnewood, he paid $14 million for it in 2007.


Lurie spends the off-season in Palm Beach, Florida, where he owns a massive 17,113-square-foot estate on South Ocean Drive. His Sunshine State retreat cost him $28.5 million when he bought it in 2013.


Nevertheless, in our 2018 roundup, we overlooked a 13-acre property on Martha’s Vineyard, one of Lurie’s premier homes.


The property on the south shore next to Ripley Cove was bought by Massachusetts native Lurie for $13.4 million in 2005. The Edgartown, Massachusetts, home is largely undocumented, but satellite images reveal a massive residence with a swimming pool that faces the ocean.
