Just in time for the presidential election on November 4, we’ve pulled together an exhaustive list of Famous Homes of U.S. Presidents. Featuring 30 homes in all, the list covers 15 current and former presidents — from George W. to the original George W. (Washington, that is!) — as well as the two presidential hopefuls, Barack Obama and John McCain. Of course, the White House will always be their most famous residence, but it’s fascinating to see where the presidents came from and where they went after office.
We’ve got possibly the most famous presidential home of all — the Kennedy Compound (see satellite view of home). There’s Ronald Reagan’s Bel Air estate, George W. Bush’s Midland starter home, and Bill Clinton’s Washington, D.C. and Chappaqua, NY houses (you can even see what appear to be secret service cars parked out front on the satellite view of home). There are also some lesser-known presidents represented — uh, Chester A. Arthur, anyone?
So, before you rock the vote, brush up on your presidential history: Check out our full list of Famous Homes of U.S. Presidents.
