Residence
Patrick lives under a rock, literally, on 120 Conch Street, two doors down from his best friend, right next to Squidward and 400-yards away from the Krusty Krab. His address is shown on his ID licenses, one from Mermaidman and Barnacleboy III and Driven to Tears. The home's exterior is featureless, apart from a small yellow weather vane, which is shown falling off on numerous occasions.
Added by Patrick is sometimes shown to sleep on the ceiling, although far more often he is shown sleeping in a traditional bed. Patrick spends much of his day sleeping under his rock. There are many inconsistencies in the depictions of his house due to the nature of the cartoon and utility treatment of backgrounds: in one episode, his house is depicted to be nothing but a bed and a chest of drawers, yet in others he appears to have a kitchen and a living room. Also, certain episodes tend to depict the surface below the rock to be completely flat, while in others there is a considerable amount of depth below it. Patrick claims to have built the house himself.
As Nickelodeon says of Patrick's house in a commercial bumper: "What's really beneath this famous rock? The home of Patrick Star. While the outside never changes, a closer look inside reveals that Patrick's house is never set in stone. Sometimes, there's just sand. Other times, there's a small den. Occasionally, there's a large master bedroom. And there's the Multi-Room Complex featuring an eat-in kitchen, arched doorways, and a hi-def TV. Rock on!"
Abilities
Similar to SpongeBob's super-human abilities of shape shifting, duplication, invulnerability, and regeneration,
- Flight and Strength: Patrick possess superpowers such as flight and great strength (not superhuman, as anything Patrick lifts is not very large he doesn't even display super-starfish strength as starfishes are naturally very strong, on the lines of being able to open a clam that is still living and has powerful jaw muscles) .
- Sun-ray Walking: Patrick was able to climb up a ray of sunshine to reach the sun, which he mistook for a light bulb, and runs back down with his behind on fire.
- Limb Regeneration: As seen in Karate Star, Patrick can regenerate lost limbs.
- Patrick has a degree of superhuman durability, though not as great as SpongeBob's.
- Patrick may have bad luck on using machines, as many were broken and went haywire by him:
- Telepathy: He was shown to have telepathic abilities..
- Pain: He is able to sustain a lot of pain.
Patrick also is shown to live through events that would normally kill or injure someone:
- He was still alive after he ate a piece of explosive chewing gum that blew his head off.
- Plankton's "recorder" exploded when Patrick wore the headphones that suck brains into the "recorder".
- SpongeBob and Patrick were coming to a house which is the residence of a purple fish, Patrick was "focusing" on the fish by extending his eyes from his head to close to the fish's head, he controls his eyes back and forth.
- SpongeBob and Patrick both lived when the tape recorder krabby patty exploded inside of Patrick's pants, and later on in the episode they both lived again when Patrick pressed the self destruct button in the car they where in.
- Regeneration and False Muscles: He has the ability to regenerate limbs, and grow false muscles.
