Bruce Lee's House

Bruce Lee in Culver City

  • Date: 1968
  • Location: 4114 Van Burn Place, Culver City, CA

Bruce Lee is undoubtedly one of the biggest pop culture icons of the 20th century.  Very few residents know that Bruce actually lived in the Culver City neighborhood of Carlson Park in 1968.  The house is at 4114 Van Buren Place which currently backs up to Amazon Studios. Several sources on the internet claim that Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris sparred at the home.

Bruce and Linda Lee rented the home before buying their first home at 2551 Roscomare in Bel Air in 1968.

I love Bruce Lee, and I think it’s really fun to think about him and his family living in Culver City in the 1960s.  If you want to go deeper into Bruce and his life in Los Angeles, here are a couple of great resources:
