Now that LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er, it\u2019s time for his next big decision.<\/p>\n

Where will he live while playing here?<\/p>\n

There are many good options in the Delaware Valley and beyond. They don\u2019t call the Philadelphia region \u201cThe Bali of the West\u201d for no reason. <\/p>\n

Crossing Broad recently spoke with a real estate source who knows a guy, who knows a guy. This source revealed some EXCLUSIVE information about Bron\u2019s house hunt, and provided some key hints to what King James is looking for in a contemporary domicile. <\/p>\n

They revealed 10 places that LeBron is currently considering:<\/p>\n

1) Lansdale<\/p>\n

LeBron recently toured the Montgomery County suburb. He was impressed with the borough\u2019s walkability and reportedly loved the Tuesday morning smell of incinerated animal remains wafting downwind from the Hatfield slaughterhouse.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the smell of napalm in the morning,\u201d he reportedly said, cheekily referencing the 1979 film Apocalypse Now. \u201cSmells like a 114-89 victory over the Washington Wizards.\u201d<\/p>\n

LeBron was allegedly sipping on Backyard Beans coffee during \u201cthe entire visit.\u201d <\/p>\n

2) Inside of the $1.25 million Fishtown house<\/p>\n

The $1.25 million Fishtown house, located across the street from the I-95 ramp, recently sold for $650,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Was it LeBron James who swooped in?<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the idea of being right around the corner from Les and Doreen\u2019s Happy Tap,\u201d James told our real estate source. \u201cIt\u2019s also walkable to Frankford Hall and Fette Sau, and I can dump my trash in a number of spots along the river.\u201d<\/p>\n

3) Whatever you call that neighborhood behind the Aramingo Avenue Wawa<\/p>\n

Is it Port Richmond? Is it Fishtown? Is it Kensington? <\/p>\n

From our source: <\/p>\n

\u201cLeBron toured several properties on Edgemont and Tilton Streets. Since he\u2019s in his early 40s now, he enjoyed the slower pace of the area, and noted the proximity to the Green Rock Tavern and Stock\u2019s Bakery. He also walked through the nearby Wawa and spoke glowingly about the \u2018energy\u2019 and the \u2018vibe\u2019 inside the store.\u201d<\/p>\n

4) Voorhees<\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, one of the big selling points for LeBron was that the Sixers share the same building with the Philadelphia Flyers. This intrigued James, who has become \u201cFlyered Up\u201d in recent weeks and is now considering a home near the team\u2019s Voorhees practice facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of the Sixers pitch, believe it or not, was the upward trajectory of the Orange and Black,\u201d our source confirmed. \u201cHe\u2019s really stoked about the Trevor Zegras extension, and believes that Danny Briere did the right thing with the Leo Carlsson offer sheet. LeBron wants to be here when the Flyers lift Lord Stanley\u2019s Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n

5) Lower Bucks County<\/p>\n

James quietly brought his family through the Bensalem, Croydon, and Bristol region. <\/p>\n

He reportedly stopped at Broken Goblet brewing, and enjoyed the \u201cBostyx\u201d tribute band, which plays the music of both Boston and Styx. Then he went to Neshaminy Creek for a County Line IPA before a relaxing dinner on Mill Street along the Bristol waterfront.<\/p>\n

Said our contact:<\/p>\n

\u201cLeBron was enamored with the blue collar nature of Lower Bucks in the same way the Eagles were enamored with Jalen Reagor. Don\u2019t rule this one out.\u201d<\/p>\n

6) Northeast Philadelphia<\/p>\n

\u201cLeBron wants to prove to Philly fans that he\u2019s a gritty and workmanlike guy,\u201d our source said.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why he took a long, hard look at the Mayfair and Rhawnhurst regions.<\/p>\n

The source went on to say that LeBron enjoyed Cottman Avenue (\u201cliterally everything you could ever need is along this corridor\u201c). He spoke highly of the neighborhoods\u2019 proximity to the Roosevelt Boulevard, and noted that his private helicopter can land at the nearby Northeast Philadelphia Airport.<\/p>\n

7) Mays Landing<\/p>\n

James did tour the Jersey Shore, our real estate contact confirmed. He reportedly did not like the \u201ccookie cutter-ass-looking\u201d buildings in Sea Isle City and referred to Wildwood as \u201cParkwood South.\u201d <\/p>\n

But he did take to the Mays Landing region.<\/p>\n

\u201cBron is more of a river guy,\u201d our source said. \u201cHe talked about the possibility of riding his jet ski to the Sugar Hill Inn and then walking to Freddy J\u2019s Bar and Kitchen.\u201c<\/p>\n

We were also told that LeBron enjoyed a quiet dinner at Crabby\u2019s on Route 50 in Belcoville. Nobody bothered him. <\/p>\n

8) New York City<\/p>\n

Our source confirmed that LeBron James is indeed considering a commute from New York City.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody in Philadelphia actually cares about this,\u201d they said. \u201cThis is an overrated topic. Philadelphia sports fans care only that LeBron gives his all while wearing the uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n

The source noted that J.J. Redick lived in Brooklyn while playing for the Sixers, and \u201cnobody gave a shit about that.\u201c<\/p>\n

9) Boyertown<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always said that living in Berks County is a bucket list item,\u201d James reportedly told our source.<\/p>\n

He put together a shortlist that included Boyertown, Fleetwood, Womelsdorf, and Shartlesville. <\/p>\n

James apparently enjoyed the rustic and \u201copen\u201d nature of the county. He reportedly was impressed by the Reading Pagoda, and the Cabela\u2019s location in Hamburg. He spent extra time touring the aquarium and looking at the stuffed deer heads in the hunting section, we\u2019re told. <\/p>\n

10) Slower Lower Delaware<\/p>\n

It\u2019s our understanding that James was intrigued by tax-free Delaware, but preferred the \u201cSlower Lower\u201d portion of the state to the Wilmington\/Newark area. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe wasn\u2019t impressed with that area,\u201d said our source, noting that James found the Christiana Mall to be \u201clame and full of Gen Z fucking dipshits with broccoli haircuts.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cBut he seemed to really enjoy touring places like Georgetown, Seaford, and Dagsboro. He appreciated the slower pace and the relaxed nature of the people down there.\u201d<\/p>\n

editor\u2019s note: shoutout to the person in the Philadelphia media who gave me this story idea<\/p>\n

editor\u2019s note 2: an earlier version of this story incorrectly used an apostrophe in MAYS LANDING<\/p>\n
