One resident said he’s okay with the senator living in the neighborhood because “it says a lot about Del Ray — he picked a place that’s a great place to live.”
Sen. J.D. Vance and his wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance, live in the liberal Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, Va. in Northern Virginia, after word spread that a not-so-liberal U.S. senator had paid $1.6 million for a house in the neighborhood.
Kreutzer described himself as far from a Republican and said the senator’s choice of real estate suggests his conservative brand of politics may be less than authentic. Ginny Richards, a retired social worker, said that her husband has pointed out the house when they pass by and that they both say it’s “too bad he lives so close.” The only upside she can imagine to Trump winning the White House is that Vance would move to the Naval Observatory in Northwest Washington, the vice president’s official residence.
Word spreads, nevertheless. After the house where Vance lives was purchased, a local artist “yarn-bombed” the neighborhood with strips in rainbow colors and Pride flags, the Washingtonian reported in March 2023. One crocheted sign read “Respect Our Rights” in pink lettering and was wrapped around a tree.
Haire has no problem with Vance living in the neighborhood and would welcome him as a customer because “that’s how Del Ray rolls. Reject hate — against anyone, anytime, anywhere.”“I don’t like him being here,” said Pete Paccione, 41, a consultant who bought a house nearby several years ago. “I’m not a fan of him or his politics. With the heightened tension around politics, it makes me nervous. Everyone in the neighborhood is tense.
