WASHINGTON — President Obama and his family plan to move to a mansion in the upscale Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, a mere two miles from the White House, when he leaves office in January, according to people familiar with his plans.
Mr. Obama, who has said his family will remain in the capital until his daughter Sasha completes high school in 2018, will rent the 8,200-square-foot, nine-bedroom home, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to reveal his plans.
The house — valued around $6 million, according to several real estate websites, with an estimated monthly rent of $22,000 on Zillow — is owned by Joe Lockhart, a former press secretary and senior adviser to Bill Clinton. Mr. Lockhart was until this year the managing director of a communications and political consulting practice he founded, the Glover Park Group, but has moved to Manhattan to become executive vice president for communications for the National Football League.
...
The move will put the Obamas in one of Washington’s wealthiest ZIP codes, in a secluded precinct backing up to Rock Creek Park that is home to diplomats and a focal point of the capital’s cocktail-party circuit. The home itself is luxurious; photographs posted by Washington Fine Properties, which listed it when it sold in 2014, show spacious rooms with hardwood floors, white marble countertops, his-and-her master bathrooms and a terrace with formal gardens.

I’m betting Trump will go right back at him 10x as hard.
I suspect that once he leaves the WH, we'll all learn about how his religious preference has "evolved" and about he's now a practicing Muslim.
Well, hey, if you like a turret on your front lawn, enjoy the house. To me who actually likes architecture, it’s a horror.
Well, it’s not an attractive architectural dewign I’ll agree with that. ;)
If he can pay a monthly rent of $22,000 his lobbyist job must pay very well.
I knew you had good taste! ;)
Trump will be POTUS and there will be NO NEED for lobbyists, maybe he better rethink 22,000 a month rent!!!
If he’s not a lobbyists wonder how much money he receives from Soros?.
I remember Rush saying this, how Obama would stay in DC and criticize EVERYTHING new POTUS does!!! I remember rush saying this SO VIVIDLY!!!!
The taxpayers will pay for the house just like the Clintons.
Zero gave the the UN 500 million tax dollars not too long ago.

to (cough) “fight globull warming/climate change” and notice that’s just the first installment.
Angie Merkel will be contesting him for the UN job.
After Zero’s negotiation skills fell short failing to get the Olympics for Chiraq—and just about everything else—he prolly wants something in writing this time in buying the UN Sec. Gen. job, so installment payments.
Apparently he hopes to go directly from Wash. to NY in order to remain a festering boil on the backside of humanity.
Hmmmm.....does it come with a transgender bathroom ?
.... Somehow I can’t stop thinking about the old Jefferson song… “We moving on up”...
Probably. I wonder if Obama will have the change now that he’s out of office.
