Born in Monte Carlo, Monaco, Charles Leclerc rose from his kart-racing beginnings in his home principality to become a standout driver for Scuderia Ferrari in Formula 1. Today, he remains based out of Monaco, the place he calls home both personally and professionally. But this may change, as he reportedly shelled out big money for a new, luxury Miami home. Here’s what to know about the new digs as he navigates F1 life and his future with French influencer and model Alexandra Saint Mleux. Charles Leclerc acquired a luxury home in Miami, likely worth around $3 million Champion driver Charles Leclerc has made a significant off-track move by acquiring a luxury condo in Miami. This marks a strategic expansion of his lifestyle beyond the race circuit. The residence is located in the newly announced Edition Residences, Miami Edgewater, a 55-storey glass tower along 2121 North Bayshore Dr. in the Edgewater neighborhood of Miami. The exact price of Leclerc’s unit remains undisclosed. However, the “signature” sky residences at the development begin at approximately $3.1 million, according to Realtor.com. The layout Leclerc selected falls into the two- to three-bedroom range, spanning about 2,315 to 2,709 square feet. Features include Studio Munge-designed interiors, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, private elevator lobbies, and terraces overlooking Biscayne Bay. But what truly sets the property apart is its amenities. Residents will have access to expansive indoor/outdoor spaces amounting to 45,000 square feet, including wellness and fitness facilities, a cabana-lined pool, and dramatically for an F1 driver, an on-site racing simulator tailored to the needs of high-performance living. In April 2024, Leclerc posted a photo to Instagram so that his fans could get a feel for his new place. The first photo in the carousel shows him relaxing on a white couch with floor-to-ceiling windows behind him. Additional photos show him peering out at the city from the windows. “Miami, feeling at home already,” he captioned the post. “Can’t wait.” Leclerc’s residence won’t be move-in ready until 2027. With this in mind, he might reside in Monaco for quite awhile. The Formula 1 driver primarily lives in Monaco Born and raised in Monte Carlo, Charles Leclerc continues to live in Monaco, favoring a neighborhood that reflects his preference for authenticity. In interviews, he’s noted that his area feels “like a village” rather than the ultra-glamorous image often portrayed during race weekend. “I don’t live in the glamorous city that everyone sees during the Grand Prix,” he admitted, according to The SportsRush. “It feels like a village to me. The people that are actually staying here the whole year are the real Monegasques. And we all know each other.” Despite the relative modesty of his residence compared with the high-flying lifestyles associated with F1 stars, Leclerc’s home has been subject to unwanted attention. In April 2023, he publicly urged fans not to come to his door after his address was leaked online. People started gathering outside his apartment seeking autographs. “ “Hey everyone, for the past few months, my home address has somehow become public, leading to people gathering beneath my apartment, ringing my bell, and asking for pictures and autographs,” he posted to Instagram, according to The Independent. “While I’m always happy to be there for you and I truly appreciate your support, please respect my privacy and refrain from coming to my house. I’ll make sure to stop for everyone when you see me on the streets or at the track, but I won’t be coming downstairs if you visit my home.” He’ll share his home with his future wife, Alexandra Saint Mleux Congratulations are in order for Charles Leclerc and French model and influencer Alexandra Saint Mleux. The Monegasque driver shared the happy news of their engagement on social media. He posted romantic photos featuring his beloved dachshund, Leo, and other pictures showing a rose petal-filled room. “Mr². & Mrs. Leclerc,” he captioned the post.
