    Where will the Obamas live next year? No one knows yet.

    Where will the Obamas live next year? No one knows yet.

    It's a terrific nugget for the cocktail party circuit. A feather in the hat of the District's haute neighborhoods. A Washington rumor with a Jan. 20, 2017, expiration date: the Obamas' next address after 1600 Pennsylvania.

    Ever since President Barack Obama announced that the first family planned to stay in Washington post-White House so that Sasha Obama can finish high school at Sidwell Friends School, the city has been buzzing with guesses. Would the Obamas buy or rent? Stay in D.C. proper or move out to the 'burbs? A condo or a colonial?

    According to the National Journal, the Obamas plan to rent a home in D.C.'s Kalorama neighborhood, an area rife with diplomats and the like. But the White House has stayed mum on the matter, according to the media outlet, and there's no attribution to the real estate scoop (not a source inside 1600 Pennsylvania or one with intimate knowledge of the family's real estate plans) because here's the thing: No one will know until the Obamas want them to.

    "That'd be stupid," said one local high-profile real estate agent when asked whether the White House might be leaking information about the commander in chief's next move. No agent worth their license would risk their reputation by blabbing. Add to that the fact that the Obamas are especially adept at keeping their private lives private, and the prospect of news about their future home becoming public before an official announcement becomes even more slim.

    When the Clintons bought their home near Massachusetts Avenue NW during the last weeks of Bill Clinton's presidency, their house hunting was equal parts stealthy and quick. At the time, the White House announced the news in a brief statement on Dec. 29, 2000: "We appreciate all the hard work of everyone who made our search for a place in Washington, D.C., productive and enjoyable."

    That search had begun quietly only a month before, just after Hillary Clinton won her Senate race in New York. Originally the Clintons were looking for a home to rent with room enough for daughter Chelsea, Hillary Clinton's mother, Dorothy Rodham, and Buddy, their chocolate Labrador retriever. Plans quickly pivoted when a few weeks later Hillary Clinton snagged at $8 million book deal with Simon & Schuster in mid-December. Now the first couple could comfortably afford to buy, and the clock was already ticking.

    After narrowing the list to four houses (all toured by Hillary and Chelsea before showing Bill) and even putting an offer on a home they later decided against (too many stairs for Dorothy), the Clintons closed on a six-bedroom brick Georgian for $2.85 million three days after Christmas.

    Whether renting or buying, it's not a stretch to assume the Obamas' home search will follow a similar path to that of their predecessors, who were only the second first family since President Woodrow Wilson's to buy a home in Washington after leaving the White House. Like the Clintons, the Obamas will need to make room for their children, a mother-in-law, four-legged family members and the Secret Service.

    But first, said Susan Berger, one of the agents involved in the Clinton real estate deal, the Obamas have to find an agent they can trust.
    "Privacy," Berger said, "is a very, very important part of this business.”

    Report: Obama family settles on this D.C. neighborhood after term ends May 24, 2016,

    The Obamas Are Moving to Kalorama


    Obama will be the first president since Woodrow Wilson to stay in D.C. after office

    Earlier this year, the public learned that the Obamas were considering Kalorama or Embassy Row for a new place to stay. Just recently, the National Journal revealed that the family has made their choice, and the Northwest neighborhood Kalorama is the victor.

    The reason why the family is staying in Washington, D.C. after Obama's presidential term is up is so that the youngest daughter, Sasha, will be able to finish high school in the District. According to DCist, Obama will be the first president to stay in D.C. after office since Woodrow Wilson in 1921.

    D.C.'s Kalorama neighborhood Grand Homes and Embassies

    Notably, Kalorama one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Washington, DC is full of single-family homes that average about 4,000 square feet in size and sit on large plots of land. “The average townhouse that still needs some work sells for about $1.8 million,” Bell said. “A finished townhouse sells for between $2.4 million and $2.6 million.” Current listings show detached homes with asking prices between $2 and $8 million.

    Kalorama is an upscale neighborhood in the northwest quadrant of Washington, DC along Embassy Row. True to its name which means “beautiful view” in Greek, Kalorama is situated on a hill overlooking Dupont Circle with Rock Creek Park on one side. As one of the most desirable addresses in the District, Kalorama is known for single-family estates flanked by embassies, museums, and other landmarks and has long been a center of the Washington social and diplomatic scene. Kalorama also offers the option of living in co-op buildings which take advantage of the elegant surroundings to provide a more urban experience.

    Recently rated by Walkscore as one of the most “walkable neighborhoods” in the District, Kalorama offers wide open green spaces as well as a number of historic sites on a typical stroll through the neighborhood. The Woodrow Wilson House Museum and the historic Spanish Steps connecting Decatur Place to 22nd Street are particular favorites.

    The Kalorama community is divided into two areas – Sheridan-Kalorama and Kalorama Triangle. Kalorama is bounded by Massachusetts Avenue, Rock Creek Park, Florida Avenue, Connecticut Avenue, Columbia Road and Calvert Street. The closest Metro Stations include Woodley Park/Zoo and Dupont Circle.

    The $5 Million D.C. Mansion Where The Obamas Will Live After Leaving The White House



    by CHARLIE SPIERING
    25 May 2016

    After President Obama leaves the White House, his family has plans to move to a $5 million mansion in Washington D.C.

    According to Politico’s Mike Allen, Obama will lease the mansion from former Bill Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart and Giovanna Gray.

    The home was sold in 2014 for $5,295,000 and has 9 beds and 8.5 bathrooms, according to the McFadden group. It has 8,200 square feet and was built in 1928.

    Watch this video to get a feel of how the Obamas will enjoy life after the White House:

    The Obamas plan to live in Washington D.C. at least until their daughter Sasha finishes high school.

    Plenty of room in Gitmo for Obama and Hillary which is exactly where they both belong.
