Sometime before 1970, she moved into a bungalow with JD Souther near the corner of Camrose and Highland. Jackson Browne lived in an adjacent bungalow. Half of the bungalows in this little village were razed in 1991 or 1992 to clear space for the present day Highland Camrose Park. 7 of the original 14 bungalows were spared. Unknown to me if the house where Linda and JD lived is one of those still standing.

(One of those left standing)

Hollywood Heights is a neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, bounded by the Hollywood Bowl on the north, Highland Avenue on the east, Outpost Estates on the west, and Franklin Avenue on the south.[1][2] It includes a number of notable historic homes and buildings and has been home to numerous people in the film and music industries, dating back to the silent film era.

Highland-Camrose Bungalow Village (2103 N. Highland Avenue) is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Eagles' Don Henley and Bernie Leadon wrote "Witchy Woman" in a bungalow here shared by Linda Ronstadt and J. D. Souther.[24][25][26]

Gotta love old houses. I much prefer them to anything new, even the haunted ones. Here is some more info on the area bungalow JD and Linda moved to after she left Topanga.

The Highland-Camrose Bungalow Village is a grouping of Craftsman style bungalows located at the northwest corner of Highland and Camrose Avenues in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The bungalows were designed by the Taylor Brothers and Lee Campbell as residences. The bungalows were later converted to offices, which are occupied by various organizations affiliated with the nearby Hollywood Bowl, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.

In 1989, the bungalow village was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The listing included 16 contributing buildings, a contributing structure (stone walls), and a contributing site (landscaping).

Circa 1919: Within the year after Brothers Sam, Jack, Harry and Albert Warner, opened Warner Bros. Studios on nearby Sunset Boulevard, builder Lee Campbell was contracted to break ground at 1742 North Gardner. Campbell is perhaps best known for his work on the Highland Camrose Bungalow Village. Highland Camrose was a scattering of 14 wood-sided homes built between 1916 and 1923 for employees of movie studios in Burbank and Studio City. The village would go on to house numerous future super stars: Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, Marilyn Monroe and Tyrone Power, Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne, to name a few, and was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1989. More modest than Whitley heights, Highland Camrose had been sited on land that was once a portion of the Rancho La Brea, a Mexican Land grant. Highland-Camrose Bungalow Village (2103 N. Highland Avenue) is on the National Register of Historic Places. Jackson Browne, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Linda Ronstadt, and J. D. Souther developed the California Sound of the 1970s while neighbors in the area around High Tower and the Highland-Camrose Bungalow Village.
