Vance, a former Ohio senator, bought a home in Cincinnati’s East Walnut Hills neighborhood for $1.4 million in 2018, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer, part of the USA TODAY Network. According to a news release from the City of Cincinnati, several roads in the neighborhood were closed from Dec. 29 through Jan. 4, though the reason for the closure was not specified. Prior to his election in 2024, Vance told the Enquirer that the family’s Cincinnati home is “the perfect combo of proximity to the city and to nature.” “Our neighbors are great, and some of our closest friends live within walking distance. We love the natural beauty, especially the old giant trees and the wildlife,” Vance said in an email to the Enquirer.
