Its crown jewel is the seven-bedroom home dating back to 1924.

Some of its alluring features include century‑old stone walls, sweeping beach access, two private piers, tennis courts, and miles of association trails across conserved land.

Beyond its stately façade, the home sits on Linnaean Street, steps from Harvard Square, a nod to Elizabeth's roots as a former Harvard law professor.

Schiff drew attention during his 2023 Senate campaign after reports revealed he also claimed a Burbank condo in California as his primary residence for tax breaks.

Since 2013, he has made this Lincoln Park townhouse in Newark’s "Coast" arts district, home. Far from a plush mansion, this home embodies grassroots championing.

Cory has hosted impromptu town halls in the living room, posed for selfies on the sidewalk, and donated nearby abandoned properties to community causes when vandalism turned neighborly goodwill into squatter drama.

Listed in 2013 at $675K, its value reflects its upgrades and rising neighborhood cachet, far outpacing West Miami’s median home prices.

Beto bought and renovated it during his early city-council days, stripping some ironwork to embrace neighborhood openness.

The bookshelf in his living room reportedly houses vinyl from The Clash band and a biography of former President Lyndon B. Johnson.

Covering around 2,500 square feet with three bedrooms and a vintage fireplace, Pete remained dedicated to its revival.

By 2021, the couple relocated to an apartment in Capitol Hill due to Pete's Secretary of Transportation assignment, and sold this South Bend home for about $310K. The new owner hosted cabaret nights there, placing this house in the spotlight long after Pete's exit.

Andrew Yang, New York ($500K)

The spacious upstate home became Andrew's HQ during the early COVID-19 lockdowns. With four bedrooms and leafy acreage just 80 miles north of NYC, the house doubled as a campaign talking point. Andrew rented it out via Airbnb in 2019, flipping the script on candidate lifestyle transparency and giving voters something to talk about.

The mansion features seven lavish bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a gourmet gym, a tennis court, a sparkling pool, and a detached guest house.

John Lewis, Georgia ($350K)

Anchored in the heart of Atlanta’s historic Sweet Auburn, the late Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights titan, lived in this early 1900s bungalow.

Often valued around $350K based on nearby comparables in the same zip code, his home served as a strategic hub for town halls, grassroots planning, and constituent outreach. Since 2012, the house has anchored the neighborhood, adorned with an 11‑story mural honoring John, a timely reminder that his legacy lives on
