Where Does the Vice President Live? A Look at JD Vance's New Home and Role
Have you ever wondered where the vice president of the United States lives while in office? It’s a fascinating detail of American politics, and with JD Vance recently sworn in as vice president, this question has gained fresh relevance. While the vice president’s office is located on the White House grounds, the official residence is actually a few miles away, nestled in a historic and secure location.
JD Vance, the Cincinnati-born former U.S. senator from Ohio, will now call Number One Observatory Circle his official residence. This beautiful white house, built in 1893, was initially intended for the superintendent of the United States Naval Observatory. However, in 1974, Congress designated it as the official residence for vice presidents, recognizing the growing expense and complexity of securing private homes. Located about 2.5 miles from the White House, this home is steeped in history and surrounded by lush, serene grounds—a fitting setting for the second-highest office in the land.

Vance’s journey to this prestigious role is rooted in Ohio, where he has deep ties. Born in Middletown, Ohio, and later a resident of Cincinnati’s East Walnut Hills neighborhood, Vance has spoken warmly about his love for the area. He and his family cherish the natural beauty and strong sense of community they’ve found there. Though his official duties now place him in Washington, D.C., his Ohio roots remain central to his identity.
As vice president, Vance steps into an active role, succeeding a long line of leaders who have shaped this unique office. Notably, at age 40, he is the youngest vice president since Richard Nixon, who assumed the role at 39. His wife, Usha Vance, and their three young children—Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel—join him in this exciting chapter of public service.
JD Vance’s rise reflects not just political ambition but also a commitment to representing the values of his upbringing. From his bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy to his role as vice president, his story continues to resonate with many Americans.
