Yoko Ono is widely reported to be living a very private life on her 600‑acre farm in Franklin, upstate New York, a rural town with only a few hundred residents. At the same time, recent coverage still associates her with her longtime apartment in Manhattan’s Dakota building, which she is understood to retain even after shifting her main residence upstate.

Quick Scoop

  • Primary residence now: A large, secluded farm near Franklin, New York, which she and John Lennon originally bought in the late 1970s and where she has chosen a quieter, country lifestyle in her later years.
  • Longtime New York base: Her famous apartment in the historic Dakota building on West 72nd Street in Manhattan, long linked to both her and John Lennon, remains in her possession even though she is no longer believed to live there full time.
  • Lifestyle today: Reports and recent features describe her as living reclusively, away from the public eye, spending most of her time on the farm and being seen very rarely in public.

A note on privacy

Yoko Ono is now in her nineties, and details about her exact day‑to‑day location are limited out of respect for her privacy and security. Public information focuses mainly on the fact that she has left New York City life for a quieter existence on her longtime upstate property while still retaining ties to her historic Dakota home.
