Bruce Springsteen's New Jersey Roots and Current Residence
The legendary singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, recently featured in the biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, has become a billionaire, according to Forbes. Despite his working-class anthems, he still lives near his New Jersey hometown.
Early Home in Long Branch
In 1974-1975, Springsteen rented a small cottage at 7½ West End Court in Long Branch, New Jersey. Built in 1920, the house had two bedrooms and one bathroom. It was here he wrote his breakthrough album, Born to Run, which propelled him to national fame.
The 828-square-foot home was located just a block and a half from Long Branch Beach. Biographer Meredith Ochs notes this was Springsteen’s first time living independently. However, the time was challenging for him.
“It was the most horrible period in my life. I was born, grew old, and died making that album.”
Move to Holmdel
Afterward, Springsteen moved to Holmdel, New Jersey. According to The Bruce Springsteen Vault, the home's appeal was its privacy, allowing Springsteen and the E Street Band to practice daily without concern about noise.
"Springsteen and the E Street Band held daily band practice on the premises and didn’t have to worry about making too much noise."
Summary
Bruce Springsteen's journey through New Jersey homes reflects his deep connection to his roots and the dedication behind his iconic music career.
