While the vice president’s office is on the grounds of the White House, Vance’s official residence while he serves as vice president is located at the United States Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., according to the White House.
The white 19th-century house at Number One Observatory Circle, built in 1893, originally was intended for the superintendent of the USNO. While vice presidents and their families have historically lived in their own homes, according to the White House, the cost of securing these private residences grew substantially over the years. In 1974, Congress agreed to refurbish the Naval Observatory house as the vice president’s home.
The vice president’s house is roughly 2.5 miles from the White House, per Google Maps.
Where does JD Vance live? Ohio native owns home in Cincinnati
Vance was born in Middletown, Ohio, which is about 40 miles north of Cincinnati, the Enquirer previously reported. Vance’s best-selling memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” is about his childhood there.
Currently, he owns a home in Cincinnati’s East Walnut Hills neighborhood, where he’s lived since 2018.
“We love it. Our neighbors are great, and some of our closest friends live within walking distance. We love the natural beauty, especially the old giant trees and the wildlife. It’s hard to believe we’re a few minutes away from downtown, but we see deer and wild turkey every day. It’s the perfect combo of proximity to the city and to nature,” Vance told the Enquirer in an email for a story on what he loves about his neighborhood.

What happens to JD Vance’s senate seat?
Vance recently resigned as one of Ohio’s two senators before being sworn in on Inauguration Day.
Now it’s up to Gov. Mike DeWine to pick another Republican to replace him until a special election is held in November 2026, the Enquirer reported. Lt. Gov. Jon Husted is a front-runner for Vance’s seat, the Columbus Dispatch reports.
DeWine’s appointee must run in that election if they want to keep the seat. Democrats will put up a challenger for the general election, and there could be a GOP primary if other Republicans are interested.
The winner in 2026 would serve out the rest of Vance’s term, which ends in 2028. That person could then run for reelection in 2028.
Who is JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance?
Vance married Usha Chilukuri Vance in 2014 after the pair met at Yale Law School. She previously worked as a litigator at Munger, Tolles & Olson but left the firm when her husband secured the VP nomination, the Enquirer reported.
How many kids does JD Vance have?
The couple has three young children: Ewan, 7, Vivek, 4, and Mirabel, 2.
Is JD Vance the youngest vice president?
JD Vance is 40 years old. That makes him the youngest vice president since Richard Nixon served in the 1950s, the Enquirer reported. Nixon was 39 when Dwight D. Eisenhower chose him as a running mate in 1952, according to the White House.
