Any guesses where Pete and Chasten Buttigieg will live in the DMV?

They'll have sticker shock here for sure, but I think the Hill near a good park would probably work best for them. Something like this:

He’s a runner so they’ll probably want someplace with good options for morning runs.

Given this... maybe Foxhall or Palisades.

Sh-t, that's gorgeous. Makes me want to temporarily trade him my 5-bedroom in Bethesda with a fenced yard, and I'll take the house in South Bend. If he and Chasten would take my husband too, I'd definitely do it. I bet it's nicely decorated even.

What areas around here would have similar historic homes, with scenic views as this one has? I can’t really think of anything equivalent, either in terms of architectural style or views..

Capitol Hill. It just fits the vibes I get from them. Plus, very close to work for Pete.

That would be the Mall/along the river.

He’s also accustomed to being able to walk to work.

Can't really walk to work in DC from a house like his old one. We'll have to see whether he chooses a similar house, or prioritizes short commute.

There are a few in Cleveland Park that look similar to this and have views of downtown.

Neither of them strike me as crunchy.

yeah. gay and crunchy aren't necessarily synonymous lol. Pete was a McKinsey consultant, intelligence officer, officer in the Navy...

Yeah, I agree that they're not crunchy. And they are from the mid West. I think Navy Yard, Rosslyn/Clarendon or Tysons.

I just read about the dogs. That changes my votes to Vienna or even Springfield. If they want to have dogs and kids then they'll want a house with space. It would also make working for FCPS an easy choice as the following spouse.

Yeah, the new Secretary of Transportation is going to sit in the soul-killing traffic from Springfield. Gimme a break.

I love living in Springfield. But there is no way a Cabinet member is living here.

Definitely not Springfield but didn’t Colin Powell live in Vienna while he was serving?

Colin Powell lived in Burke twice during the time he was active duty.

Yes! I was thinking of Burke. Not Vienna. But I think Burke might be a bit too far-flung at this point. I think they’ll find a nice rental on the Hill.

Powell also had 3 kids and active duty officers don't make a ton of money (certainly not $199K a year) unless they're in Afghanistan for two years or have stars.

Nope. That house says money pit to me. And neither Pete nor his husband strike me as part-time contractors.

huh, yeah, I'm not from South Bend but a similar midwestern town that has seen better days and usually houses that look like that aren't very nice. Every once in awhile you'll come across one that's just gorgeously restored but not sure if that's the case here. Maybe.
