Washington DC, also known as the District of Columbia or District – Maryland – Virginia (DMV), is the capital of the United States of America. The city is where many significant events and action takes place. This factor draws many celebrities from different sectors (politics, media, tech, filming, and entertainment) into the District.
Washington DC hosts many unique, ancient, quality, and perfect homes where various celebrities live in. So who lives in DC?
Who Lives in DC?
A couple of celebrities saw potential in “DMV” and decided to move to the District. Some were born in the city, while others moved because of self-interest or business. Most of them bought their houses, with very few deciding to build one. Some of the celebrities living in Washington DC include;
Barack Obama
The 44th President of the United States of America bought a Kalorama single-family home for $5 million in 2014. He happens to be the first president to settle in the same district post his service term. This house was built in 1928, and it covers 8,200-square-foot.
Barrack Obama and his family plan to lease the house once their daughter, Sasha, graduates from high school. The house is on lease for any interested parties, although the price is still undisclosed. Former press secretary owns the Tudor for Bill Clinton, Joe Lockhart.
Ivanka Trump
Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner bought this 6-bed and 7-bath single-family home at 2449 Tracey Place NW (a neighborhood of Kalorama) for $5.5 million in 2016. The home was designed by the famous architect Waddy Wood. It was built in 1923. The house is close to The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Woodrow Wilson’s home, and The Department of the Interior.
Bill & Hillary Clinton
The couple owns several houses across different states, but they dearly treasure the one in DC. It is a Gregorian home named Whitehaven and located on 3067 Whitehaven St. NW. The Clintons bought the house for $2.85 million in 2000, and the home sits on 5,500-square-feet land.

The house is close to where the late Herbert Haft and Vernon Jordan Jr lived.
