85-15 Wareham Place in Jamaica Estates, Queens

Until he was four years old, Trump's family lived at 85-15 Wareham Place in Jamaica Estates, an affluent neighborhood in Queens, New York City. The house, a six-bedroom Tudor-style, was built in either the 1920s or in 1940 (sources differ) by Trump's father, Fred Trump, a real estate developer. During the presidential campaign, the house was put up for sale in July 2016 by an unnamed New York restaurateur. Initially listed at $1.65 million, the house was purchased by Manhattan real estate investor Michael Davis for almost $1.4 million in December. According to The New York Times, the house was sold in March 2017 for $2.14 million to "a limited-liability company represented by a law firm that specializes in Chinese foreign investment". In 2017, the house was listed on the house rental service Airbnb for $725 per night. After an attempt to sell it for $2.9 million in February 2019, an auction planned to conclude on November 14 failed as no qualified bids came forward.

In 1950, Trump's family moved into a 23-room, 9-bathroom mansion, also built by Fred Trump, at 85-14 Midland Parkway on the other side of the same block, on two adjoining lots directly behind the backyard of the house on Wareham Place. Trump's parents lived in the mansion for the rest of their lives. Trump lived there until he was sent to boarding school at age 13, while attending Fordham University from 1964 to 1966, and, after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, from 1968 to 1971.
