The Obamas have chosen the Washington, D.C. neighborhood where they will move after President Obama leaves office in 2017, the National Journal reported Tuesday.
Though the exact home has not yet been revealed, the Obamas are planning to move to the Kalorama neighborhood in northwest Washington, the Journal reported.
Due to the proximity to a number of ambassadors’ residences, the neighborhood already has a high level of security, Fox5DC reported.
The neighborhood is located not far from the Sidwell Friends School, where Obama’s children are enrolled
Obama’s younger daughter, Sasha, is a freshman at Sidwell Friends, and the family is planning to stay in the District at least until she graduates in a few years.
Last month, the White House announced that Obama’s older daughter, Malia, will take a year off after high school and attend Harvard University in 2017.
She’s set to graduate high school in June, then celebrate her 18th birthday on the Fourth of July.
The neighborhood also lies just two miles from the White House.
Former President Woodrow Wilson, who left office in 1921, was the last Commander-in-Chief to stay in Washington after his term ended.
