According to property records, the building was last sold for $1.7 million in 2006. When it was initially searched shortly after the crime, police found blood spatter on this back walkway (pictured below), but OJ dismissed this by claiming no one could climb the fence. Before the property’s dark history, OJ gave a tour of the home to show off his luxurious estate. Here, we see the man himself showing the master suite, where a large stone fireplace and vanity can be seen. A knife that was purportedly found on the property in 2016 grabbed headlines but was ruled out as having a link to Simpson or the murders by the LAPD, according to Reuters. After the former NFL player, who died Wednesday at age 76, was acquitted, many people who had been fascinated by the case decided to track down the site, turning it into an unsavory tourist magnet.

In the spring of 1993, Brian “Kato” Kaelin, aka the world’s most famous houseguest, moved into the Gretna Green property. The two apparently hit it off and the following month Nicole invited Kato to a party at her Gretna Green residence. During the soiree, he noticed the guest house on the property and asked if he could lease it. Kato paid a monthly rate of $500, which was offset by any time he spent babysitting the Simpson children. When Nicole moved out of the home in January 1994 and into the condo on Bundy, Kato was set to move with her and live in one of the downstairs bedrooms.
O.J. Simpson’s executor says he will fight any attempt to collect on a wrongful death judgment
Following his parole for armed robbery, OJ Simpson moved into a gated community in Las Vegas. While he never spent time behind bars for murder, OJ would later be sentenced to 33 years in prison for a 2007 armed robbery. The former NFL star broke into a Las Vegas hotel and stole sporting memorabilia that he claimed had been stolen from him. The crime scene photos of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman are available online for those with a strong enough stomach to view them. OJ employed the help of what media outlets were calling the “dream team” of lawyers for the trial, including F.

O.J. Simpson’s death certificate confirms his cause of death, lawyer says
As you can also see below, the drainage pipe and utility access panel are still located in the same spot in relation to the tree, which helps give a bearing as to the walkway’s prior positioning. Several areas of the residence were shown in the episode, including the backyard, which provided us with a great view of Kato’s guest house. It was from the residence that Nicole’s infamous October 25th, 1993 calls to 911 were made. Showed up at the Gretna Green house unexpected, apparently upset over Nicole’s relationship with Mezzaluna restaurant manager Keith Zlomsowitch, and kicked in the back door to gain entry, at which point Nicole called the police. After talking to the dispatcher, she hung up briefly and then called back.
Whatever Happened To The Real-Life Simpsons House?
With her husband and two boys, Danielle became the first—and only—occupant of the Simpson house. While the outside had been repainted, the interior was a dizzying palette of primary colors. In the 1970s, Kaufman and Broad chairman Bruce Karatz had agreed to build a house on top of Au Printemps, a department store in Paris, with the idea that it would intrigue people enough to visit the store’s upper floors. When they reached the summit, a Kaufman and Broad salesperson was waiting to pitch them on buying one of their homes. What the network needed was a promotional vehicle—something to drive interest in both the show and its ancillary products. That idea came not from within Fox, but from an outside marketing expert who saw an opportunity for some corporate synergy.
The home was designed by Michael Woodley (Senior Vice President, Architecture, Kaufman & Broad) and Manny Gonzalez (Director of Architecture, Kaufman & Broad) and took 49 days to build at a cost of $120,000. Prior to construction, the duo watched 56 episodes of The Simpsons to make sure that the residence would be completed in exacting detail. Aaren tragically fell into the family’s swimming pool in 1979 and went into a coma, dying only a few days before her second birthday.
Reports: O. J. Simpson’s official cause of death revealed
“Simpsons” fans may notice the layout doesn’t include the basement — a frequent location for various Simpson shenanigans. Twitter users chimed in, noting the different spots the show has placed the basement staircase. It sounds like any fan's dream come true — living in the home of your favorite characters.
As of 2022, OJ Simpson was living at the 5,037 square foot home owned by a friend, James Barnett, in Summerlin, Las Vegas. The former football player moved into the residence following his release from prison in 2017. To get that lived-in look, a Hollywood production designer and photographer named Rick Floyd came in and accentuated the home with details that would impress the critical eye of series creator Matt Groening and die-hard fans alike. Floyd hung corn cob-patterned curtains in the kitchen; Bart’s bedroom closet held a row of identical shirts and shorts; mouse holes were painted on the walls near the floor; Lisa’s saxophone leaned against her bed.

As a means to try and discourage tourism and try to give the building new life, the owners of the home even changed the address, but that has done little to keep onlookers away. This week that it was "totally rusted" and looked "decades old." With police already skeptical as well, the insider highly doubts that the the knife has anything to do with the murders. "It looked more like a toy knife or a Boy Scout knife—like something a kid would bury." Nicole, age 34, was found sprawled at the bottom of the stairs to her condominium with 12 stab wounds to the head and neck and her throat had been severely cut. Goldman was located not far from Nicole, lying in the bushes nearby having sustained 25 stab wounds during his brutal murder.

Despite talks of relocating back to Florida, Simpson was still living in Las Vegas up until his death in 2024. Once a celebrated personality, heralded for his contributions to college and professional football, Simpson's exploits on the field have long been overshadowed by his 1994 arrest. Simpson died from cancer on April 10 at age 76, according to a statement from his family on X (formerly Twitter). Media websites have given the home a modern-day makeover and wondered how much it would fetch on HGTV’s “House Hunters.” Clearly, the house remains a topic of fascination. Weinstein engaged with Twitter users after posting the photo, responding to comments about the rarely seen “rumpus room” on the main floor’s northeast corner, the “mystery door” in the entryway, and other inquiries. Believe it or not, she added that she regularly gets letters addressed to the Simpson family - and, what's more, she even lives next to the son of a pastor (let's hope he's less annoying than Ned Flanders!).
During his school years, OJ Simpson played for the USC Trojans of the University of Southern California, where he won a Heisman Trophy in 1968. Only a year after his Heisman win, OJ was selected as the first pick in the first round of the 1969 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, where he played from 69 to 77. He would later be traded to the San Francisco 49ers in 1978, where he played with the team for two seasons before his retirement from the NFL in 1979 and go on to pursue a career in acting. Today, the home is in possession of a secretary who cares little about the show. Despite the constant pestering of fans trying to visit the house, she was able to make it her own (via Mental Floss). The vibrant colors that decorated the exterior of the home were brought back to the earthy colors of the other households in the area.
