Brian's living arrangements in the late '70s/early '80s

After Brian and Marilyn broke up, did Brian ever just live as a bachelor in a home by himself? I was thinking that aside from the 1963-1964 period before he married Marilyn, this late '70s/early '80s period (pre-Landy II) might be the only period where he would have ever conceivably lived alone.
I believe he had live-in nurses/attendants for a time during this rough period, but this wasn't always the case, right?

Interesting question-- wish I had an answer for you. Surely someone here who knew Brian at the time must?

I was under the impression that he lived in a very small apartment where he had a nurse girlfriend for a small period of time, he would run around and around his pool outside 100's of times over. I think its in "Catch a Wave" i'll try find it and get back to ya

At the time of his October 1982 "kidnapping" & removal to Hawaii for Landy II, Brian was living at 910 Greentree with his nurse Carolyn Williams. At the time of the 1980 Nick Kent interview (described to me by someone who was there as being grossly inaccurate) he was (I think) living in Santa Monica Canyon with his then girlfriend.
As for 1963-64, it's been generally agreed that he was essentially living at the Rovell family home, although he did have a little pad at 7235 Hollywood Blvd.

Kudos on the quick clarification!

Didn't he keep the Geeentree house? Looks like the one Landy moved into later in the decade.

Nope. I think it was a rental, anyway.
