    • After the White House, the Obamas moved to an 8,200-square-foot mansion in Washington, DC.
    • Donald Trump flew to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida instead of attending Joe Biden’s inauguration.
    • The Bidens returned to their family home in Greenville, Delaware, a Wilmington suburb.

    When their terms end, US presidents must move out of the country’s most famous address and make other living arrangements.

    Some return to the homes they lived in before becoming president, while others move into even more opulent surroundings.

    Here’s where presidents have lived after they left the White House.

    President Woodrow Wilson stayed in Washington, DC, after his presidency, moving into 2340 South S Street in 1921.

    Woodrow Wilson lived there until he died in 1924, and his wife, Edith Wilson, lived there until 1961.

    Edith Wilson left their home to the National Trust for Historic Preservation to maintain, and it’s now a museum.

    The house features a marble entryway, a Palladian window, a sunroom over the backyard garden, and a Steinway piano that is over 100 years old.

    President Harry Truman and Bess Truman returned to their home in Independence, Missouri, after leaving the White House.

    The Trumans had lived at 219 North Delaware Street since they married in 1919, according to the National Park Service. The lot was originally purchased by Bess’ grandfather, George Porterfield Gates, in 1867. 

    The house contains 14 rooms.

    The former president retired without any Secret Service protection or chauffeur, and he was often spotted walking around the neighborhood.

    President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s home and farm are located adjacent to the Gettysburg Battlefield in Pennsylvania.

    During the Cold War, Eisenhower held meetings with world leaders there.

    Eisenhower donated the property to the National Park Service in 1967, and it opened to the public in 1980.

    The grounds include gardens, a teahouse, a skeet range, and a putting green, and the home features a marble mantle from the White House, according to the National Park Service.

    President Lyndon B. Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird Johnson, returned to his ranch in Johnson City, Texas, after leaving the White House.
