Residences of Donald Trump

Donald Trump grew up in Jamaica Estates, an affluent neighborhood in Queens, New York City. In 1971, Trump moved into a studio in Manhattan. From 1983 until 2019, Trump's primary residence was the three-level penthouse on the top floors of Trump Tower; in 2019, he declared Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, to be his primary residence. During his first presidency from January 20, 2017, until January 20, 2021, Trump resided at the White House in Washington, D.C. and began living at the residence again on January 20, 2025 during his second presidency.
Donald Trump first lived at the presidential mansion, the White House in Washington, D.C., during his first presidency from January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021. His wife Melania and their son Barron remained at Trump Tower until the end of Barron's 2016–2017 school year. Donald Trump began living in the White House again during his second term starting on January 20, 2025.
Since September 2019, Trump's resort and residence Mar-a-Lago has served as the primary residence for Donald and Melania Trump. The legality of this has been disputed because, in 1993, Trump signed a "use agreement" with the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, that changed Mar-a-Lago's designation from a single-family residence to a private club. The agreement specified that guests, including Trump, could not stay there for more than three non-consecutive weeks per year.
The three-story penthouse at Trump Tower in Manhattan was Trump's primary residence from November 1983 until September 2019, when he designated Mar-a-Lago as his primary residence. In 2017, Forbes magazine estimated the 11,000 sq.ft. penthouse to be worth $64 million. The interior was originally designed by Angelo Donghia with black lacquered walls, brass, and mahogany but was later redesigned in Louis XIV-era style (in homage to Adnan Khashoggi) with gold-trimmed furniture, marble floors, columns, tables, and walls, frescoed ceilings, bronze statues, and crystal chandeliers.
A villa on the premises in New Jersey is reserved for Trump's exclusive use, and a 500-square-foot, two-story balcony and porch were added to it in 2017. In 2017, the place was designated as Trump's third presidential residence.
Trump owns a 28,322-square-foot (2,631.2 m) mansion on 200 acres (81 ha) in Bedford and New Castle, New York. The mansion has sixty rooms, including thirteen bedrooms, twelve baths, and an indoor pool of white marble. There are two other pools on the grounds, as well as a glass and stone orangery for growing citrus, with a bowling alley in its basement. The grounds are accented with a formal garden pavilion, a fountain in the front lawn, a greenhouse and root cellar, and a stone water tower. The property also contains a Tudor Revival house known as "Nonesuch", formerly owned by the Heinz family.
The mansion was built in 1919 of sandstone from the property to a design by architect Charles A. Platt as a summer home for financier Eugene Meyer and his family. Meyer spent $2 million on the construction. Meyer died in 1959, and, after his wife's death in 1970, the family foundation gave 247 acres (100 ha) of land to the Nature Conservancy and the rest of the property first to Yale University and then to Rockefeller University, which used it as a conference center. Trump purchased the property in 1995 for $7.5 million. The mansion was in need of renovation, but Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. spent summers and weekends at the property, living in one of the carriage houses. Trump's tax records showed he classified the estate as an investment property which enables property taxes to be written off.
Trump originally planned to build a golf course on the property, but was opposed by the governments of the three municipalities the property lies within, and he wanted to avoid competing with his existing course nearby in Briarcliff Manor. He later explored renovating the two houses and redeveloping the rest of the property. He initially proposed to build 46 single-family houses which were also opposed by the communities. He then proposed to build 15 mansions he intended to sell for $25 million each; he abandoned this project after years of litigation.
In 2015, Trump granted a conservation easement to a conservation land trust and claimed a $21.1 million tax deduction. In 2020, the New York Times reported that Trump had classified the estate as an investment property in 2014 for tax purposes, allowing him to take a $2.2 million property tax deduction for which he would have been ineligible if the mansion was used as a personal residence.
In 2021 the estate continues to be the subject of two New York state investigations regarding the possible manipulation of the property’s value for tax purposes.
Donald Trump developed the 38-story Trump Parc condominium skyscraper at 106 Central Park South, and often privately owns multiple units within it, which he rents for up to $100,000 a month.
Trump has several apartments at Trump Park Avenue. The penthouse, which was owned by Trump and where his daughter Ivanka and her family lived from 2011 until January 2017, was sold to Chinese-American businesswoman Angela Chen for $15.9 million in February 2017.
Bought in 2013 by Trump, and located in Terres Basses in the French part of Saint Martin, Château des Palmiers is a beachfront estate on Plum Bay (Baie aux Prunes in French). In 2017, the estate was put on the market for $28 million; three months later, the asking price was reduced to $16 million, bringing it more in line with comparable St. Martin properties. In 2024, the property was listed for sale for $15.5 million.
Trump lived with his family at 85-15 Wareham Place in Jamaica Estates, an affluent neighborhood in Queens, New York City until he was four years old. The house, a six-bedroom Tudor-style, was built in either the 1920s or in 1940 (sources differ) by Trump's father, Fred Trump, a real estate developer. In 1950, the family moved to a larger house, also built by Fred Trump, at 85-14 Midland Parkway on the other side of the same block; the 23-room mansion occupied two adjoining lots directly behind the backyard of 85-15 Wareham Place. Trump's parents lived there for the rest of their lives.
The house at 85-15 Wareham Place was put up for sale in July 2016, during the presidential campaign. Initially listed at $1.65 million, the house was purchased by Manhattan real estate investor Michael Davis for almost $1.4 million in December. According to The New York Times, the house was sold in March 2017 for $2.14 million to "a limited-liability company represented by a law firm that specializes in Chinese foreign investment". In 2017, the house was listed on the house rental service Airbnb for $725 per night. After an attempt to sell it for $2.9 million in February 2019, an auction planned to conclude on November 14 failed as no qualified bids came forward.
Beginning at age 13, Trump attended and resided at New York Military Academy, a private boarding school in Cornwall, New York. He subsequently attended Fordham University for two years and transferred to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where he lived in rented off-campus row houses.
Around the 1970s Trump lived in a penthouse apartment at the Phoenix, a luxury apartment building on 65th Street in the Upper East Side in Manhattan. The apartment had large panoramic windows; he decorated the interior in beige, brown, and chrome.
Trump purchased a 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m) mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 1982 for $4 million. The house had eight bedrooms, eleven baths, a 4,000 square feet (370 m) guest house, a putting green and tennis court, indoor and outdoor pools, and a sauna. Ivana Trump received the mansion as part of the settlement in 1991 in her divorce from Donald Trump. She sold it for $15 million in 1998.
Donald and Ivana Trump (his wife at the time) lived in an apartment on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, which was decorated with beige velvet sofas and goatskin tables. According to family friend Nikki Haskell, Donald and Ivana lived in Olympic Tower prior to moving to 800 Fifth Avenue.
Trump had a residence at Trump Vineyard Estates, a 45-room 23,000 square feet (2,100 m) mansion.
Trump owned a five-bedroom mansion on North Canon Drive in Beverly Hills, California, from 2007 to 2019. He had originally purchased it for $7 million, and claimed the house was worth $6 million for tax purposes. Trump had rarely used it, and had put on the market and rented it out at different times. In June 2019, he quietly sold the property, off-market, for $13.5 million to Hillcrest Asia Limited, a company owned by a Trump associate, Indonesian billionaire Hary Tanoesoedibjo.
From 2008 to 2009, Trump owned a neighboring house, an 11-bedroom Greek Revival mansion built in 1981. Trump purchased it for $10.35 million, but sold it for $9.5 million. It was previously a residence of Gabonese president Omar Bongo, who died in office in 2009.
