The world of politics is ruthless. Never mind the competition: dealing with the criticism of the press and public alone can be an extremely demanding task. But if there’s something we’ve learned by getting to know the houses of America’s most prominent political figures, it is that life in politics also comes with its perks.

From former presidents to rising stars of the Senate, our list features the humble (and not so humble) abodes of the men and women we all love to judge, criticize, and—once every four years—vote for. From Trump Tower to CityCenterDC, let’s take a look at the beautiful properties America’s most influential people call home!

Mike Pence – Indiana, $1.93 Million

The days of Mike Pence in Washington are over (at least for now), and, as announced, he moved back to Indiana with his family. After serving as Donald Trump’s vice-president, the white-haired Republican invested $1.93 million in a new Carmel, Indiana residence. IndyStar first reported the acquisition in June 2021.

Described as a seven-bedroom mansion, Pence’s new abode makes the perfect family home and sits on a roomy five-acre lot. It features many amenities, including an in-ground swimming pool, a dock overlooking a pond, a basketball court, and a media room.
