After becoming a senator, Vance purchased a $1.64 million house in a DC suburb. It’s on a tree-lined street in Alexandria, Virginia. It’s in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, DC. Jordan Pandy/Business Insider Politico and the Washingtonian say Vance bought another DC-area home in February 2023. According to property records, the house in Alexandria, Virginia—across the Potomac River from DC—sold to an LLC for $1.64 million. Vance reportedly bought a home in Del Ray, an Alexandria neighborhood with a reasonably left-leaning vibe. Many local businesses on the main road display Pride flags and other rainbow decorations. In the 2020 election, Biden received 81% of the vote in Alexandria. The house is over 2,500 square feet and has five bedrooms. It’s located near a small park. The Washingtonian reports that residents of the liberal neighborhood are mainly indifferent to the Vances’ presence. However, a local artist did “yarn-bomb” an area outside the home, hanging crocheted Pride, bi flags, trans flags, and a pink sign that read “Respect our Rights.”
“I’m not the only person who was a bit surprised and, to be honest, a bit disappointed that someone who had expressed such negative views about the people who live here and the values we hold had decided to move in nearby,” the yarn artist told the Washingtonian. “Given this person’s public history of antagonism towards LGBTQ people, immigrants, and women’s rights, we felt it was important to declare our stance in this community publicly.”
