The “Live By Night” actor has reportedly purchased a $19.2 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, and it’s located under half a mile from Jennifer Garner’s house down the road, according to x17online.

Affleck and his girlfriend, “SNL” producer Lindsay Shookus, had also been by to check out the property prior to Affleck’s purchase, People reports. A source for the site, however, had said in October 2017 that Affleck and Shookus were not looking to buy a house together, as Affleck focused on “family friendly” options for the kids.
The property also boasts an outdoor entertaining area with a barbecue grill, a pool, and a guest house. (Realtor.com)
