President-elect Donald Trump is a born and bred New Yorker, who has spent much of his adult life living in Manhattan so he might find it difficult to stay away from his beloved city seven days a week.
If he does decide to go back home on the weekends, he has a penthouse at Trump Tower, which is even more opulent than the White House. Here, we take a look at his Manhattan penthouse, and the homes that previous presidents escaped to on weekends.

Mrs. Trump will move to Washington, D.C. with him, but it is unknown if his son will join them or remain in New York as he is still in school.
Their Trump Tower penthouse boasts impressive views over Central Park and is designed to look like the Palace of Versailles. Features include ceilings painted with scenes from the classical Greek myths and a gold and diamond door to greet visitors. Experts predict that it would sell for around $90 million.
When he moves to the White House, he also has the option of flying to Palm Beach where he owns Mar-A-Lago country club as well as back to Manhattan. While this has now been turned into a resort, he has kept a part of it private for his family.

George W. Bush
Mr. Bush's ranch near Crawford in central Texas.
RICK WILKING / GETTY IMAGESDuring his two terms as president, George W. Bush, spent a whopping 500 days at his ranch, which he stills owns, near the town of Crawford in central Texas. It wasn’t all play, however, as Prairie Chapel Ranch played host to the likes of Russian President Vladimir Putin and former British prime minister Tony Blair, among other world leaders, when Mr. Bush was in office.
Mr. Bush and his wife, Laura Bush, finished building the ranch, on 1,600 acres of land, in 2001, just after he became president. They still vacation at the home, where the former president likes to fish, paint and clear brush.
Ronald Reagan

ANWAR HUSSEIN / GETTY IMAGESThe late Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, used their ranch, Rancho del Cielo, in Santa Barbara, California, which they bought back in the 1970s, as their retreat from the White House during his two terms. Dubbed the "Western White House," the ranch, set on 688 acres, was used to host Mikhail Gorbachev and Queen Elizabeth II when Mr. Reagan was in office during the 1980s.
When her husband was battling Alzheimer's disease, the former first lady put the property on the market in 1996. She initially struggled to find a buyer, but it sold in 1998 to the Young America's Foundation, a conservative group, which turned it into a museum.
John F. Kennedy

THOMAS & TALBOT REAL ESTATEA modest ranch near Middleburg, Virginia, which John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, built in the early 1960s is decidedly less known than the glitzy Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port. Ms. Kennedy designed it herself as a weekend retreat away from the White House, but sadly the family only spent three weekends there before JFK was assassinated in 1963; the property was sold a few months later.
The four-bedroom property, which she named Wexford after the Irish county where her husband’s ancestors hailed from, is currently back on the market for $5.95 million. This is down from $7.95 million in September 2015 and $10.99 million when it first was put up for sale in 2013.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

BETTMANN / GETTY IMAGESFranklin D. Roosevelt spent his downtime at a home dubbed The Little White House near Pine Mountain in Warm Springs, Georgia. He favored the area as he found the town’s natural springs helped his polio when he was governor of New York.
The six-room home made out of Georgia pine was completed in 1932, just before he became president a year later. It was used as a presidential retreat while he was in office, visiting it 16 times—partly because World War II made it too dangerous for him to carry out his passion for sailing trips. He died at the home in 1945 and it was turned into a museum a few years later, which Jimmy Carter used to launch his presidential campaign.
