House Next to Obama's Chicago Home for Sale
Barack Obama could be waving to you if you were his neighbor. He'd be saying "hey, how about a luau neighbor?" And you'd be like "Well how about yeah!" (Getty Images | Inset from AP)If you've got the money, you could be President Barack Obama's neighbor in Chicago.
The 17-room home next door to his house in a ritzy neighborhood on the city's south side is on the market.
It doesn't have a price tag yet, but the listing agent said the "Obama factor" will play a role. Homes in the area usually go for between $1 million and $2.5 million.
The current owners bought the 6,000-square-foot home that has eight bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms for $35,000 in 1973.
But living near the Obamas isn't without its hassles. The block is barricaded even when the Obamas aren't home and getting on the street means being on a Secret Service list.
Prospective buyers must be pre-qualified to look at the house and will be screened by the Secret Service.
