Phelps makes a splash in Arizona real estate market
It appears Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps has traded his former Arizona home for a new 10,000-square-foot mansion nearby.
Built in 2017, the mansion sits on nearly two acres of land in the Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley, where Phelps and his family settled in 2016. It has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, and features a ton of recreational spaces, including a barbecue area, hot tub, sauna, wet bar and pool, according to real estate website Zillow.
It’s likely that Phelps and his wife, former Miss California USA Nicole Johnson, wanted more space for their growing family. They welcomed their second son, Beckett, on Feb. 12. Boomer, their oldest son, turned 2 in May.
The home was purchased in March by Paradise Valley II, LLC, which is associated with Phelps’ former homes on property and corporation records.
