Party-throwing squatters evicted from mansion near LeBron James’ Beverly Hills home

Located just a couple doors down from LeBron James’ home, the squatters living in 1316 Beverly Grove Place have thrown parties reminiscent of Burning Man, complete with DJ sets and rave lights, at all hours of the night, according to Curbed. (KTLA)BY SUMMER LINSTAFF WRITER MARCH 29, 2024 12:22 PM PT

NBA star LeBron James got more than he bargained for when he bought a $36.75-million Mediterranean-style home in Beverly Hills back in 2020.

Just a few doors down from James’ home, a group “squatting” in 1316 Beverly Grove Place started throwing parties reminiscent of Burning Man, complete with DJ sets and rave lights, at all hours of the night, Curbed reported.

In January, the owner of 1316 Beverly Grove Place started eviction proceedings against the squatters, according to court records. The group agreed in late February to vacate the home in 30 days and left only recently.
