Former President Jimmy Carter used to live in the white house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but he now lives in a much more humble residence.
Carter, the nation’s 39th president and the country’s longest living former president at 96 years old, lived a very ordinary — and affordable — existence, according to The Washington Post in 2018. Carter, in fact, still lives in the ranch house he built in 1961.
According to the Post, the two-bedroom ranch home in Plains, Georgia, is only worth $167,000, or “less than the value of the armored Secret Service cars parked outside,” and is located in a rural area some 212 miles south of Atlanta. Georgia’s median home price is $213,026, which is lower than the national average, according to real estate website Zillow.
