WNBA breakout star Angel Reese is making moves—on and off the court. Despite a rocky start to her sophomore season with the Chicago Sky, the 22-year-old is making headlines for a milestone many can only dream of: buying a sleek new home in the Chicago suburbs.
According to a report by TopClosings and later highlighted by Sporting News, Reese recently purchased a $1.3 million property in Lemont, Illinois. The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom residence spans 3,600 square feet and is described as newly constructed with modern finishes.
Reese’s Off-Court Wins Continue
While her WNBA salary is just under $75,000 per year, Reese’s real earnings come through her high-profile endorsement deals with brands like Reebok. That same week, Reebok unveiled a new personal logo for Reese, solidifying her growing brand status.
Reese took to social media to share her excitement about the purchase, posting a photo with a powerful caption:
“Retired my momma. Became a homeowner. All at 22. So blessed.”
The home was originally listed at $1.325 million but records show she closed at $50,000 under asking—another savvy move by the young star.
A Balancing Act: Court Challenges vs. Personal Milestones
On the court, Reese’s sophomore year hasn’t been easy. The Chicago Sky have started the season 0–4, with three double-digit losses. Reese herself is averaging 10 points and 14 rebounds per game, though she recently had a low-scoring night against the New York Liberty, going 0-for-8 from the field with only 2 points.
Still, the support around her remains strong. Reese continues to be a fan favorite and one of the most visible faces in women’s sports.
Why It Matters for Chicago’s Youth and Fans
Reese’s home purchase in the suburbs sends a broader message to young fans across Chicago and beyond: career dreams—on the court or in business—are achievable with dedication, community support, and smart planning.
Her journey from LSU standout to WNBA starter to homeowner is resonating with young women looking for role models beyond sports stats.
