Presidents of the United States either were born into wealth or found it somewhere along their ascent to the office.
With that sort of wealth, Presidents tend to hold some breathtaking and enviable real estate, either buying storied real estate or developing a property into a brand — like the Kennedy Compound or Monticello.
Here, we take a look at where the presidents slept besides 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, using Zillow's page on Presidential Real Estate to find out what the story is with each of these properties.
