Kamala Harris owns US$8 million of property with husband Douglas Emhoff – look inside the Democratic vice-presidential nominee’s homes in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco
LeBron James, Richard Nixon and Gwyneth Paltrow have all resided in Harris’ affluent Brentwood, Los Angeles, neighbourhood – the politician and lawyer also owns a plush condo in West End, Washington, and a lush loft in South of Market, San Francisco
Before joining Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on his 2020 ticket, Senator Kamala Harris spent 16 years working in politics – serving first district attorney of San Francisco and then attorney general of California before entering the US Senate.
And along the way Harris and Douglas Emhoff amassed quite a collection of homes across the country – with The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) estimating the couple’s combined property portfolio is worth some US$8 million. Let’s take a closer look at where they own where.
According to online US real estate database Zillow, the property has four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. The off-market listing says the home sits on 3,500 sq ft and estimates its value to be around US$5.4 million. The median home value in Brentwood is US$2.7 million, which is higher than the Los Angeles median.
Records on US real estate data provider PropertyShark indicate that the single-family home was built in 1948. While the actual home is blurred on Google Maps, the rest of the street appears to be lined with houses with slanted roofs and plenty of greenery.
Harris isn’t the first political figure to call Brentwood home. Richard Nixon lived in Brentwood in 1961 before he was president. During that time, a devastating fire scorched the Bel Air and Brentwood neighbourhoods, though the house Nixon was leasing was spared.
Additionally, Harris and Emhoff own a condo in the West End neighbourhood of Washington. WSJ reported that Harris bought the two-bedroom condo for US$1.7 million in 2017, the same year she joined the Senate.
