Meet LeBron James’ New Hollywood Neighbors

Newly signed Laker LeBron James’ $23 million digs on Tigertail Road in L.A.’s Brentwood come with a deep roster of industry neighbors, from stars (Jim Carrey) and execs (ABC’s Ben Sherwood, Scooter Braun) to reps (CAA’s Fred Specktor, Lighthouse’s Margaret Riley), writers (John Sacret Young) and movie royalty (or at least movie royalty-adjacent: John Goldwyn’s ex Colleen Camp).

Close observers of the NBA star — whose four-year, $154 million signing with the Lakers has driven up ticket prices for the upcoming season — have speculated widely about his new L.A. lifestyle: Will the cycling advocate be two-wheeling it around the city? What restaurants will the foodie and wine lover enjoy (so far: Brentwood’s A Votre Sante and a Beverly Hills eatery where he dined with Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Pacino)? And is his choice of a home in Brentwood a clue to his 13-year-old son’s school plans?

The tony community is taking well to its new neighbor, says one homeowner, who adds that there’s more concern about the explosion of “McMansions” in an area that boasts so many architecturally significant houses, like the William Krisel-built midcentury modern that was torn down in 2014 on the lot where James’ new home sits. 

While James’ new-build eight-bedroom home has been under renovation since May as he adds a basketball court and indoor wine tap, the construction hasn’t been particularly disruptive, says the resident, given the large number of homes being built and updated throughout the neighborhood. “[His house] is set on the hillside, very tasteful and pretty, and it’s been low-key so far,” says the neighbor. “People were a lot more upset when Justin Bieber was looking around here.”
