The Obamas currently live primarily in Washington, D.C., where they own a large nine-bedroom Tudor-style mansion in the affluent Kalorama neighborhood. They bought this home, valued at about $8.1 million, after initially renting it following their departure from the White House in 2017. This residence offers them privacy, space, and proximity to the political and social activities Barack Obama continues to engage in through the Obama Foundation. Their daughters, Malia and Sasha, have their own rooms in this home, which also features amenities like a finished basement, garden, and office space
. In addition to their Washington home, the Obamas own a luxurious vacation estate in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. This property is a sprawling 29-acre mansion with seven bedrooms, two guest wings, an outdoor swimming pool, private beach, and boathouse. They purchased it in 2019 and have used it as a country retreat for many years
. They also have a significant property in Hawaii on the island of Oahu, a three-acre waterfront estate purchased in 2015, which serves as a private island oasis and a place for relaxation away from the public eye
. Lastly, the Obamas still own their longtime home in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, where they lived before Barack Obama's presidency. This home is a 6,400-square-foot residence with multiple amenities and remains part of their property portfolio
. In summary, the Obamas' main residences are:
- Washington, D.C. (primary home in Kalorama)
- Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts (vacation estate)
- Oahu, Hawaii (island retreat)
- Chicago, Illinois (longtime family home)
They primarily reside in Washington, D.C., but maintain these other homes for family and vacation purposes
