DeAndre Hopkins’ House in Houston Under Fire For Hosting Parties

DeAndre Hopkins Houston playing days are in the rear view mirror, but the house he left behind, is still very much active.  The house in question, which DeAndre Hopkins stills owns, has been hosting a bevy of parties since Hopkins split town for greener pastures.

Folks living in the Houston neighborhood were pleased to hear that he had bought a house on their block. But things didn’t quite go as planned.

“One day, DeAndre was getting ready to move into the house, we’re all pretty excited,” said next door neighbor Simon Gentry, who bought his home a decade ago.

Hopkins never moved in, but the parties did.

Via ABC 13:

Shortly after the COVID-19 lockdowns began, late-night parties began occurring at the home almost every week. Hopkins has no connection to the parties.
The parties are promoted heavily by third parties on Instagram with tickets for table service sold via websites such as Eventbrite.

Most of the parties at the home start with an entrance fee of around $70. The price goes up to the hundreds for VIP or bottle service.Security video obtained and viewed by Eyewitness News shows dozens of cars parked on public and private streets.Music of all genres can be heard emanating from the backyard at night. The morning after, bags upon bags of trash are left on the curb.

One neighbor says sewage became a problem and led him to file complaints with the city of Houston.
Houston Public Works told ABC13 the house is only permitted as a private residence.

“I have a family, right, I have a child, and you can’t go to sleep at night because these parties are super loud,” said CJ, another neighbor who shares a common driveway with the Hopkins’ home. “We have to contact the police constantly and involve them. That’s not a good use of public resources.”

Houston Police Department records show officers have been called to the house more than 60 times between May and this week.

ABC13 reached out to Hopkins’ representatives several times without any luck. The athlete did not wish to comment.

Meanwhile, HPD said it will patrol the neighborhood more actively should problems persist. Might be time for Hopkins to sell the house. Don’t see much upside keeping the house.

Might be time to completely cut ties with Houston.
