Fresh off snagging the nomination to be Joe Biden’s transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten Buttigieg, are probably, maybe, let’s say
almost definitely starting to look for a new home in the DC area. They’ll have to say goodbye to the South Bend, Indiana, riverside home (where they reportedly pay a $450-per-month mortgage) and hello to our increasingly expensive real estate market. Obvious spots where incoming politicos settle down, like the Wharf and Navy Yard, don’t have the same Midwest appeal we don’t see them choosing glassy high rises or small apartments.
It’s likely that the popular couple will become instant social stars in a celebrity-starved city, so which neighborhood might they choose? We came up with a few serious (and some not-so-serious) contenders for the Pete, Chasten, and their two dogs, Buddy and Truman.
