Photos Of The Actual Homes Presidents Moved To After Their Presidency

Everyone knows where presidents live during their time as commander-in-chief - including their other "White Houses" - but often it's less widely known where they go once they leave office.

So begs the question: where do presidents live after the White House? Some former presidents ended up in their home states, while others moved to new states, and some even remained in Washington. D.C.

Some former presidents' homes are pretty lavish - even for the times - while others are quite humble like Jimmy Carter's home in Plains, Georgia.

Harry Truman's post-presidency home in Independence, MO
was the very home he lived in from the time he was married in 1919 until his passing in 1972.



Jimmy Carter is perhaps the most modest and humble president of them all, living in a $167,000 house in Plains, Georgia. Carter, who has been clear that it was never his "ambition" to be wealthy, returned to his hometown and the two-bedroom ranch home that he and Rosalynn Carter initially built together in 1961.


As one of the most lavish presidents in US history, President Trump has spent his post-presidency at Mar-A-Lago - the country club estate he owns in Palm Beach, Florida. There's even a mansion right next door that Trump owns.

They only posted 15 homes
So 31 presidents' homes were not posted.

30 white folk, in addition to Obama.
So race had nothing to do with it.

When I lived in Lancaster, PA



Wheatland, the home of President James Buchanan.

I never visited it because he was a racist embarrassment.

She said she saw him when he went out for his daily walk. I don't know if he was accompanied by the Secret Service. If he had a say in it, I'm sure he'd reject government security. He used to go to his presidential library -- which was modest, of course -- to talk with schoolchildren who came to visit.

When asked what the first thing he was going to do when he returned home, he said, "I'm going to put our suitcases in the attic."
