Real Estate

In January 2019 Danielle and Jensen paid $1.7 million for a home in Woodland Hills, California. Fun fact – Woodland Hills is in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, just north of Topanga. Anytime Danielle and her family want to drive to the beach, Malibu, Santa Monica etc… they would drive a few minutes from their house to the winding Topanga Canyon Road, up through the hills of Topanga, through downtown Topanga… I wonder how long ago that reference got old for her?
