In April 2025, the football player purchased a 10,000-square-foot manor in Chester County, reflecting his career trajectory. However, before achieving football stardom, Barkley grew up in Coplay, Pennsylvania, after moving there from the Bronx, New York. The running back’s current $3.9 million home in Malvern sits around 81 miles from one of his childhood cities. As fans follow Barkley’s rise in the ranks, his transition from living in New Jersey to Pennsylvania may seem meager, considering the Eagles player still resides on the East Coast. Yet, Barkley’s budding career mirrors his residential advancement. Here is what we know about the 28-year-old’s freshly purchased 5-acre mansion.

Barkley Grew up in Coplay, Pennsylvania Before Going Pro

Barkley was born in the South Bronx, New York, where he lived along Cypress Avenue near 139th Street. In 2001, he and his family moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to escape the onslaught of violence occurring within the northernmost borough. Shortly after, the Barkley family relocated to Allentown, where they experienced homelessness for some time while the children stayed with family and friends, per ESPN. In 2005, the Barkleys settled in Coplay, Pennsylvania.

While living in Coplay, Barkley attended Whitehall High School, where he joined the football team and became a star running back. Before joining athletics, the teenager spent much of his time working babysitting gigs. Barkley also excelled in basketball and track and field but chose to focus on playing football throughout his sophomore year. During his junior year in high school, he was a four-star running back, rushing for 1,503 yards and setting a single-season record with 27 touchdowns, Onward State reports.

However, senior year was Barkley’s standout season, scoring a total of 31 touchdowns and rushing for 1,856 yards. In 2014, he was named First-Team all-state (AAAA) by the Pennsylvania Football News, alongside being selected as Mr. PA Football for Class AAA/AAA. The football player received offers from multiple institutions and initially committed to Rutgers University during that year. However, in 2015, he committed to the Nittany Lions football team at Penn State University.

The Rookie Bought His Parents a New House When He First Got Signed

In July 2018, the Giants selected Saquon Barkley with the second overall draft pick. The rising football star signed a four-year, $31 million contract with $15 million upfront. According to Sporting News, Barkley became the first running back chosen in the top two since Reggie Bush in 2006. Following the recent success, the New York rookie purchased his family a new house in Whitehall, Pennsylvania, with his fresh endorsement money. In a red carpet interview for the CC Sabathia Celebrity Softball Game, Barkley described his plan to use his finances wisely as the “Marshawn Lynch method.”

Per ESPN, He told reporters, “I want to invest it, put it in the right people’s hands, and learn as I continue to make investments. And just live off the endorsement deals.” Barkley continued in the interview, “That’s the goal. Not to touch it [the money].”

However, his first major purchase was a 3,400-square-foot home for his family in Whitehall, Pennsylvania. The house was a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom residence that was located not too far from where he grew up. He reportedly spent around $425,000 on the property. The estimated value is now worth a market price of around $700,000.

Barkley admitted to promising his mother, Tonya Johnson, that he would buy her a new house, especially after watching his family struggle as a young child. The then 21-year-old left the decision of choosing the house to his mom. He said, “You pick a house that you like and you feel that will be comfortable enough for you and Dad and the rest of the family.”

Athlete Lived in New Jersey as the Giants’ Running Back

According to Realtor.com, Barkley bought a $3 million 6,900-square-foot mansion in Montville, New Jersey, in 2019, while he was a running back for the New York Giants. The five-bedroom and seven-bathroom house extended over two acres of land. The property was reported to have a saltwater pool, a 1,500 wine cellar, a home theater and a gym, per Celebrity Homes. In 2020, the running back was rumored to have purchased a $3.5 million penthouse in Jersey City.

Yet, after he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, Barkley sold his former New Jersey estate. He purchased an upgraded mansion in Malvern, PA. His current estate is almost twice the square footage of his former New Jersey home.
