Where do the Kardashian/Jenners really live? E's Keeping Up with the Kardashian's house is on the market for $6,250,000! Justin

The beautiful estate featured on E's hit reality TV show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" as the Kardashian-Jenner house just came on the market for $6,250,000!

You might not have known that this house is not actually the house where Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and baby North West live! Although all of the interior scenes on KUWTK are actually from the real Kardashian-Jenner house, the home depicted as the exterior of their home is actually located in the exclusive Fryman Estates in Studio City. This beautiful home has been featured on other popular TV shows as well, such as True Blood. The Kardashians decided not to feature their real home on the show for security reasons. According to an article on the ABC News blog by Luchina Fisher, they had featured Kim Kardashian's real Beverly Hills home in an earlier season and Kim had people showing up at her house at all hours of the day and had to call the police on several occasions.

Now that the home is up for sale, it will be up to the new owners to decide if they will still allow the Kardashians to continue using their home on the show. The 7 bedroom/7bathroom home is 7,043 square ft and is a beautiful Italian style estate detailed with one of a kind furnishings and artwork. It offers a 5 car garage with gourmet indoor and outdoor kitchens, and salt water pool/spa.

The Kardashian-Jenner house is actually located in the Hidden Hills community of Calabasas. Kourtney Kardashian, Scott Disick, and their son and daughter, Mason and Penelope, live in the prestigious guard gated community, The Oaks. Khloe Kardashian just purchased Justin Bieber's home in The Oaks community for $7.2 million to be closer to Kourtney and Scott (after her divorce with Lamar Odom, she decided to sell their Tarzana home).

Please contact Jamie Tian at (310) 717-1321 or JamieTian@RodeoRE.com if you would like more information about homes that are for sale in the Calabasas community or greater Los Angeles area, or if you would like representation in marketing your property for sale!
