LeBron James's House

LeBron James came to the NBA straight from high school in 2003 and has won 4 championships with 3 franchises. In 2023 he passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the league’s all-time leading scorer.

Los Angeles magazine traced the 1930s estate that stood here to actor Charles Boyer. Howard Hughes took it in the settlement when Boyer parted ways with RKO in the late 1940s, then rented it to Katharine Hepburn.

Soap creators Lee Phillip Bell and William Bell bought the run-down estate in 1986 and remade it, per Los Angeles magazine. Their second daytime soap, the follow-up to The Young and the Restless, premiered the next year.

Lee lived here until she died at 91 in February 2020, 15 years after William. Her estate put the property up for sale later that year.

Every parcel the county roll lists on this street is taxed as City of Los Angeles land, whatever the 90210 mailing city says. Only 3 houses still standing on it predate 1940, none of them this one.

James closed on September 30, 2020, while in the NBA’s Orlando bubble for the Finals, buying off photos and a virtual tour without seeing it. The Lakers won the title 11 days later.

After nearly 3 years of pursuing permits, James moved in June 2023 to tear down the 1930s house, Front Office Sports reported. Aerial photos published in 2025 showed the old buildings gone.

Planning approvals reported by Realtor.com in 2025 split the 2.72-acre site into 2 lots, each to get a new house behind one guarded shared drive. The Los Angeles firm Walker Workshop designed them.
