Vice President JD Vance and his family are reportedly leasing a property in Middleburg, Virginia, a rural area about 45 miles from Washington, D.C. The move comes as the family prepares for the birth of their fourth child later this month. The Secret Service has confirmed security measures are being arranged for the additional residence, which will supplement—not replace—their official vice presidential residence at the Naval Observatory.
The Vance family has made several upgrades to the Naval Observatory residence since moving in, including a new fence and a chicken coop. Middleburg, known for its hunting and horseback riding, has historical ties to past presidential retreats, including a property once owned by John F. Kennedy and later rented by the Reagans.
The family’s decision to lease a second home has not been publicly detailed, but sources suggest it is intended as a retreat from official duties in the capital. The property’s exact location and intended use remain undisclosed.
