Inside Jackie Kennedy Onassis' luxurious homes, from sprawling estates to full-floor apartments

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis grew up in spacious New York apartments and several-acre estates, and, after her marriage, spent summers at the famed Kennedy Compound and winters on the family's estate in Palm Beach.

Still, she said her family's "happiest years" were those spent with her husband, President John F. Kennedy, in the White House.

Before they moved there, the couple lived in a 19th-century red-brick home in Georgetown, Washington, DC, which recently sold for $6.125 million, Mansion Global reported. The Kennedys bought the home in 1957 for $82,000.

While most of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' former homes can only be admired from the outside, one of her final properties is open to visitors.

Parts of what was once known as Red Gate Farm on Martha's Vineyard opened to the public last summer, The Vineyard Gazette reported in 2025. Five miles of public trails meander through the land, which the Kennedy family sold to two nonprofits in 2020 and is now known as Squibnocket Pond Reservation.

Here are all of the impressive places she lived in and owned in her lifetime.

Before she was a Kennedy or an Onassis, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier spent her early years in New York City.

In 1932, the Bouviers moved into an apartment on the sixth and seventh floors of 740 Park Avenue.

The apartment building was developed by her grandfather, James T. Lee, The New York Times reported. At least for a period, her father couldn't afford to furnish it so Jackie and her sister could roller skate from room to room, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The apartment building later became a home for billionaires and was once considered one of the most iconic apartment buildings in the city.

They moved into a Georgian-style mansion called "Merrywood" in McLean, Virginia, near Washington, DC.

The 23,000-square-foot mansion, which was built in 1919, had nine bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.
