Recently Khloe Kardashian and her new husband Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Lamar Odom picked up a seven-bedroom home in Tarzana, California which was listed for $3.995 million. Odom is still trying to sell his former home in the sports-star-friendly town of Mahattan Beach. The home is showcased on the the Sports Star Relocation website. The website was designed specifically for professional athletes and has a National Listing System that helps athletes find a new home in their new city (perfect for those sudden, surprise trades). The site includes a database where athletes and their families can search for properties that suit their specific needs including ones that are located near other local athletes/teammates, the airport or practice facility. Ed Kaminsky, founder of SportStar Relocation, found that the vast majority of his athlete-clients desire a home within a geographical triangle that includes their practice facility, stadium/arena, and the airport.

Odom seems to have stepped out of the triangle with his new Tarzana home but his Manhattan Beach home is squarely in it which might appeal to any athletes in the Los Angeles area looking for a home base. The five-bedroom home was built in 2002 by Gravatt Homes. It has been recently redone and includes a formal living room, formal dining room, large family room w/custom wet bar, three fireplaces and a three-car garage. Outside there is a pool, spa, as well as a barbecue area and a gas fire bit. This home is listed at $2.399 million.

Diedre, I think you're glossing over the most important part of this story, which is that someone -- anyone -- is voluntarily moving from Manhattan Beach to Tarzana. Especially someone who made more than $14mil last year just in his NBA salary (not including his endorsements), and is scheduled to make at least $11mil this year.

Tarzana is not where one chooses to live, it is where one has to live when one's options have been stripped.

That said, I kinda like the fact that a guy who's made $10mil or more a year since 2002 was living in a $2.4mil place.

The interior has all the style of the lobby of a Howard Johnson Motor Inn. All the money in the world can not buy taste.

Tarzana isnt that bad, I live off of lindley and burbank and if you go up to the top of lindley there is some amazing homes there. I don’t think Lamar cares where he lives, but I don’t see why what’s her name would want to live in the Valley.
From where they live its about a 20 min drive into Bev Hills, but traffic can be murder when they are going to a Lakers game, but who knows what time Lamar actually gets there.
Kobe on the other, well living in the OC he takes a helicopter to the game.

Either way, I hope Lamar stays with the Lakers next year I don’t see him getting the same value for the house if he trys to sell it.
