Where are Stephen A. Smith's homes?

Stephen A. Smith's $1.9 million home is based in New Jersey, which isn't far from New York City. It's close enough to commute but far enough away to be in a quiet area, removed from the hustle and bustle of the big city life.

New Jersey is a popular destination for East Coast-based celebrities, with radio host Charlamagne 'Tha God' previously owning a home in a similar area.
