The Obamas are making their extended stay in the nation’s capital a little more permanent.


Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle have reportedly spent $8.1 million to buy the 8,200 square-foot house that they had been renting in Washington, D.C.’s posh Kalorama neighborhood.

The couple moved into the stately Tudor-style home, owned by former Clinton administration press secretary Joe Lockhart, following their eight-year stay in the White House. They plan to stay at least until their younger daughter Sasha finishes high school at Sidwell Friends.

So the house remains blue. But the same can’t be said for other parts of the Kalorama neighborhood, which is becoming a growing epicenter of power for both Democrats and Republicans alike.

Literally, around the corner from the Obamas stands the 6,780-square foot Colonial mansion where President Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner — both key advisers to the president — now live.

While an Obama will likely never face a Trump on the ballot again unless Michelle runs in four years, or Malia and Ivanka face off in the future, you can judge which of these homes, both built in the roaring 1920s, wins out.
