White House Blues: Check Out Where Donald Trump Is Going To Stay Post Presidency

Trump has spent a significant amount of time at Mar-a-Lago, dubbed the 'Winter White House', throughout his four-year presidency.

Donald Trump is expected to move to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida full-time as the eventful four-year presidency comes to an end, according to reports.

The former President is reportedly planning to fly to the estate on an island off the coast of Palm Beach on Wednesday morning, ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration.

According to The New York Post, moving trucks were seen outside Mar-a-Lago as well.

Trump has spent a significant amount of time at Mar-a-Lago, dubbed the “Winter White House”, throughout his four-year presidency. The president also changed his legal residence from Trump Tower in New York City to Mar-a-Lago in September 2019.

The 74-year-old longtime New Yorker purchased the mansion in 1985 for USD 10 million and turned it into a private club, which has become his winter home during the last four years.

The 20-acre estate inspired by a Moorish-Mediterranean structure, now with 128 rooms, was built in 1927 by Post cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post.

The massive property features direct views of the Atlantic Ocean and is open to people who purchase a membership at the club. The property includes a 20,000-square-foot ballroom, five clay tennis courts and a waterfront pool.

Trump holds private quarters on the property in a separate, closed-off area. It has been labelled the second-largest mansion in the sunshine state of Florida.

Forbes estimated the value of the estate at around USD 160 million following extensive renovations and the exclusivity of the location. However, according to US media reports, neighbours are questioning whether it can become his permanent home.

Nearby Palm Beach residents recently sent a letter to town leaders, citing a 1993 agreement they say prohibits anyone from living permanently on the property because it is a social club, cbsnews.com reported.
