The Obamas’ retirement home

As US President Barack Obama leaves office tomorrow, many people are wondering where he will stay with his family and what he will be doing in retirement. For most first families in the United States, when a presidential term ends, they retreat to a life of anonymity outside Washington DC.

Not the Obamas who will be “trading” the White House for an opulent brick mansion in Kalorama, an affluent address in Washington DC. This makes Obama the first retired president to stay in DC since 1921. The Clintons moved to a home in Chappaqua in New York City after Bill Clinton’s term ended.
