President Donald Trump has asked for renovations to be made to his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, People reported Thursday.
The White House has not officially announced Trump's post-presidency plans, but sources told People the family's private residence at the resort in Palm Beach "will be expanded and spruced up."
Melania Trump is also said to be looking for schools around the Palm Beach area and neighboring Broward County for the Trumps' 14-year-old, Barron.
Despite being a lifelong New Yorker, Trump has always enjoyed spending time in Florida and even listed it as its primary residence in October 2019.

Builders are making renovations to President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence and the first lady, Melania Trump, is inspecting schools as the first family considers Florida as their next home, People reported Thursday.
While the White House has yet to announce Trump's post-presidency plans, sources close to the president told People that the 2,000-square-foot private residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach "will be expanded and spruced up."
"They are definitely renovating his apartment within the Mar-a-Lago Club to make it larger, more modern, and comfortable for his use," the source said, according to People.
"Mar-a-Lago is iconic, a building he took great pride in renovating when he bought it," the source added. "It makes sense that he wants to be there and will make the mansion his home."
Melania Trump is also said to be planning and looking for schools in the area for the Trumps' 14-year-old son, Barron, to attend.

"They have looked all over Palm Beach County and neighboring Broward County for just the right place," another source close to the first lady told People. "There are several options, and they will decide soon."
"No matter what else is happening in the world, he is treated like royalty at Mar-a-Lago. He loves to be here," one source previously said, according to The Sun.
This isn't to say that Trump would not be going to New York at all.
