The Kennedy Compound consists of three houses in Hyannis Port, a small residential village located in Barnstable, in Cape Cod. It was once the home of American businessman and political figure Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., his wife Rose, and two of their sons, Jack and Bobby. Their youngest son, Ted lived in his parents' house, and it was his main residence from 1982 until his death in 2009. Ted also bought President Kennedy's house from his daughter, Caroline. This house now belongs to Ted Jr.
