Washington never lived in Washington DC because it didn't exist. The city of Washington DC was started/built after he became president and John Adams was the first president to live in the White House. When he moved in it wasn't finished and hung the laundry in the East Room. The principle residence of Washington was Mt. Vernon, but as president he was given a house in New York and one in Philadelphia for his second term.

No, but his plantation is not very far away ( around 30 miles,I think.) He bought land in

DC as an investment.

No. He never lived in either place. He did eventually buy some property in Washington, DC as an investment.
