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.

Jen Psaki – Virginia, $1.7 Million

For Jen Psaki, communication has formed the basis of her career. However, one thing her 2021 appointment as White House Press Secretary shows is that she’s good at what she does. While she’s known for being an open book, the details of her house are anything but that.

After a long day of high-level press conferences, anyone would be grateful for a peaceful place to rest. For Psaki, she has that luxury in the form of this $1.7 million property. Bought in 2017, its short distance to Washington D.C. makes it ideal. Rated the safest city in 2020, Psaki must also fancy Virginia for more than its proximity to work.
