80 Famous People and Where They Lived in DC: Figure 1
The DC homes of these people and many others, on Bigwig Digs

While tracking the DC real estate market over the last four years, the UrbanTurf editorial staff has accumulated a list of addresses where notable people have lived throughout the Washington area. Such information always makes for fun and interesting factoids about particular properties, and readers love it (as do we). So we decided to consolidate all these addresses and present them on a single website as the go-to resource to see where “bigwigs” have rested their heads over the years.

The result is Bigwig Digs. We've launched the site with about 80 homes. Here is a sampling of the bigwigs you'll find:

JFK Bill Clinton J. Edgar Hoover
Lyndon Johnson Richard Nixon Al Gore
Robert E. Lee Duke Ellington Jim Morrison
Sylvester Stallone Sandra Bullock Elizabeth Taylor
Warren Beatty Walt Whitman David Brinkley
Mike Tyson Monica Lewinsky Bob Woodward
Rahm Emanuel Lena Horne Dave Grohl
Karl Rove Jack Kent Cook Dan Snyder

We've got even more names and addresses that we'll be publishing in the months ahead, so keep watching as we grow Bigwig Digs. And please, if you know of any addresses that we should add to the list, let us know at bigwigdigs@urbanturf.com.
