In Residence

James Dean moved around A LOT during his lifetime. It's safe to say that he only had two stable homes during his lifetime: the Winslow farm, where he was raised by his aunt and uncle, and New York City.

Below is a list of the places where James Dean hung his hat and called home. JDIND is indebted to Randall Riese's The Unabridged James Dean: His Life and Legacy from A to Z for the following information.
