The house where Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered became a dark draw for tourists after their deaths. The most ambitious of these, though, was a full-size “Simpsons” house replica built in 1997 — the grand prize in a giveaway sponsored by the homebuilder, Pepsi and Fox. Weinstein’s tweet seems to be the most authoritative take on the layout, but it’s certainly not the first. A more elaborately illustrated house layout posted on DeviantArt had been circulating online since 2012, but it wasn’t created by an official “Simpsons” staff member.

Nicole Brown Simpson House: Was The OJ Simpson Murder House Really Torn Down?

OJ Simpson purchased this Miami home in 2002 and lived there with his children until 2008 when he was arrested for armed robbery. The residence was completely demolished to make way for a new property in 1998, likely in an attempt to cleanse the land of its past. In another shot, viewers are given a glimpse at the Simpson’s living room, which spanned the entirety of the home and offered plenty of space for visiting family and guests.

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.

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!).

Only a few feet from Nicole’s body was that of friend Ron Goldman who had also suffered a slit throat and multiple stab wounds. It’s believed Ron was the first to be attacked during the scuffle and found it hard to in the struggle before succumbing to his injuries. As of 2022, no person or persons involved in the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman have been imprisoned for the crime. The journal at the time of the trial, however, was considered hearsay by the judge and was dismissed.

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.

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.

Simpson — of her and Goldman's murders, the condo where the murders took place finally sold, according to The Fresno Bee. After some landscaping and an address change to try to obscure its history, the home again sold in 2006, per the Los Angeles Times. "If a crime is notorious enough, there's a very real danger that the structure will be demolished or altered to preserve the property value and deter sightseers," Kim Cooper, a true-crime historian, told the newspaper in 2016. At the time of her murder, Brown was living in a 3,405 square foot condo/Rowhome coop in Brentwood, California, with her children.

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.

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.
