The Journal reported that Emhoff bought the property in 2012 and that it has since been transferred to a trust.

According to Zillow, the property has four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. The off-market listing says the home sits on 3,500 square feet and estimates its value to be around $5.4 million.

According to records on Property Shark viewed by Business Insider, it's a single-family home that was built in 1948.

While the actual home is blurred on Google Maps, the rest of the street appears to be lined with homes with slanted roofs and plenty of greenery.

The median home value in Brentwood is $2.7 million, which is higher than the Los Angeles median, per Zillow.

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 neighborhoods, though the house Nixon was leasing was spared.

Brentwood is also home to famous public figures like LeBron James and Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband, Brad Falchuk.

Harris and Emhoff also own a condo in the West End neighborhood of Washington, DC.

Harris was a senator from 2017 to 2021, when she assumed the vice presidency. Clarke reported for WSJ that Harris bought a two-bedroom condo for $1.7 million the same year she joined the Senate.

Photos of condos in the building show a sleek design and floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the rooms with natural light.

The apartment building website lists amenities like a heated rooftop pool, a business center, and a fitness center with Peloton equipment.

The condo building is within walking distance of DuPont circle.

Per Zillow, the median home value in the West End neighborhood is $702,000 and the median rent is $3,172.

When Harris was the District Attorney of San Francisco, she owned a loft-style apartment that she bought for just shy of half a million dollars.

Harris assumed office as San Francisco's District Attorney in 2004.

The apartment, which Harris bought the same year she became DA, is currently valued at $890,000 — about double what she paid for it.

Katherine Clarke of the Wall Street Journal reported on February 18 that Harris was selling the property and is currently under contract. With a list price of $799,000, the Journal reported that the property was on the market for just over a week.

Harris' former apartment is located in the South of Market neighborhood of San Francisco, a city with famously competitive real estate prices.

The South of Market neighborhood is one of the most competitive markets for condos, according to real estate reports.

The median house sale hit a high of north of $1.7 million in July 2020.

The sale takes the value of Harris' real estate holdings down, but the vice president will have no shortage of residences.

Harris is currently residing in Washington, D.C.. She and Emhoff are temporarily living at Blair House, a presidential guest house, while the vice president's residence undergoes renovations.

The vice president traditionally lives at the United States Naval Observatory. According to the White House's website, every vice president since Walter Mondale has lived there with their families.

Insider reported in January that the home was built in 1893 and features 72 acres of property. The address is Number One Observatory Circle.

Harris and Emhoff will move in once renovations are complete. CBS News reported that representatives for Harris did not specify a timeline for the move.
