Kendrick Lamar goes from straight outta Compton to Eastvale?

Fruits of success in the rap game stereotypically come with bling, swagger and multimillion-dollar digs. If you’re Kanye West, there’s enough cash left to throw a child a backyard birthday party modeled after the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

But the landscape is less Hollywood Hills and more tract home for up-and-coming hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar, who recently bought a pad in the Inland bedroom community of Eastvale.

Reports of his purchase began circulating in late May, setting off a wave of online buzz that Lamar had settled into the least likely place to find a rap star: a former dairy community that only became a city in 2010.

Riverside County property records show a grant deed listing Kendrick Duckworth – Lamar’s legal name – as the owner of a modest-by-celebrity-standards Eastvale property near I-15. It is dated Dec. 2, 2013.

The 3,529-square-foot suburban home was built in 2006, records show. It includes three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a pool. He bought it for $523,500, according to Zillow.com, an online real estate tracking company.

In recent weeks, a handful of local residents tweeted that they spotted the star cruising around town in a sports car or visiting the city’s Picnic in the Park summer carnival.

But hold up. Lamar may not be Eastvale’s most famous resident just yet.

“I heard he bought it for his parents,” Eastvale Mayor Ike Bootsma said in an interview, reinforcing that it was only a rumor.

The Compton born-and-raised rapper recently told Seattle radio station KUBE 93 that he won’t be changing his ZIP code.

“I stay in L.A.,” he said. “But I like to buy property because, in the market we’re in right now, around L.A., the values are getting right.”

But Lamar, who was nominated for seven Grammys last year, denied he’s been renting out the property: “I don’t know exactly what I’m gonna do yet.”

Two Lamar representatives did not respond to emails seeking comment about the purchase.

The city of about 59,000 in the northwestern corner of Riverside County is affluent, diverse and growing fast. It boasts the highest median household income in the county. Residents are 40 percent Latino, 24 percent Asian, 24 percent white and 9 percent black, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. Crime is low, and houses are cheaper than neighboring coastal areas in Orange and Los Angeles counties.

On a recent morning, there were people at the house and two vans were parked in the driveway, but no one answered when a reporter rang the doorbell.

The two-story residence is on an ungated street, nondescript among a row of other similarly gray and beige stuccoed homes. There is a basketball hoop out back. It’s a short walk to a local shopping center.
