President-elect Trump isn't the only one thinking about splitting his time between two cities.
When President Obama leaves the White House this January, his family is expected to become bi-coastal, with homes in both DC and California.
Sources told the New York Post that the Obamas have purchased a home in Rancho Mirage, California.
The Obama family have reportedly purchased a home in Rancho Mirage, California, sources tell the New York Post
The president's new California home is in Rancho Mirage - a community known for its world-class golf courses
Rancho Mirage (pictured) is one of the nine cities that make up the Cocahella Valley and is home to around 17,000 people
The Obamas are also leasing a $4.3million home in the Kalorama neighborhood of DC, which will be their main home - at least for the next two years.
The family is staying in DC so that their youngest daughter, 15-year-old Sasha, can finish high school at Sidwell Friends School.
Sources say that the president's new California home is in Rancho Mirage - a community known for its world-class golf courses.
It's also not far from Sunnylands, the former Annenberg estate, which has been used by presidents as an unofficial Camp David of the West Coast.
The town is also where President Gerald Ford retired.
Local newspaper the Desert Sun has been reporting about the Obamas' potential move for more than a year.
In addition to their homes in DC and California, the family is said to have also purchased a vacation home in Hawaii, the president's home state.
The Post reports that interior designer Michael S. Smith is set to decorate both properties. He helped the Obamas decorate the White House and also owns a home in Rancho Mirage that the family has visited. He is the partner of James Costos, current ambassador to Spain and Andorra.
The 1928 home the Obama family is leasing in DC is 8,200-square-feet and features nine bedrooms and eight and a half baths.

The home features plenty for the Obama's to brag about in D.C.'s hot real estate market.
It has a gourmet kitchen featuring a six burner stove, according to an online database reviewed by Daily Mail Online.
In case the Obama's have grown accustomed to having help around the house, there is a butler's pantry.

The most appealing part of the home is its location, in one of the nation's priciest zip codes, and just a few minutes from DC attractions.
