Hayvenhurst

"Hayvenhurst (Avenue)" was the nickname that the Jackson family from Gary, Indiana gave to their gated mansion, in Encino, California.

Joseph Jackson bought the estate in March 1971, and most of the Jackson family resided there during the 1970s and into the 1980s, including sons (and Jackson 5 members) Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, Michael, and Randy, and daughters LaToya and Janet. Eldest child Rebbie was married and lived with her husband.

In 1981 Michael, aged 22, bought his Father out of the house and is the current owner of the property. Joseph, after repeated business failures needed to raise capital from the house to save himself financially. Michael took the opportunity to demolish the original residence and rebuild the house in a totally different style. Michael allowed his father to continue living at the house rent-free.

The property is now worth an estimated $5 million.

Katherine is still living at Hayvenhurst.
