These days, it isn't unheard of for people to have vacation homes, however, nowadays, people are purchasing weekend homes. At first, this may sound a tad ridiculous, but when you think about it, it's like a little getaway every weekend from your "normal" life and change can be a very good thing for your physical and mental health! Believe it or not, a lot of people in New York are beginning to do this! According to The New York Times, a lot of wealthy New Yorkers are looking to the suburbs for their weekend home!
One reason that people are choosing to do this is because they are not ready to leave the city, but enjoy a little escape that makes them feel more in the country and more at peace without all the noise of constant traffic and people and sirens. Most people who choose to do this, choose places that are commutable. Now, commutable can mean something different to everybody. Some people may consider than an hour away, and others may consider that several hours away or more. If you do your research correctly, you may find a weekend home that is near to exciting things such as lakes, hiking trails, and more!
People who live in the city, often want that get-away and this gets them excited to experience nature and a little more peace. For some, it's getting their feet wet and helping them decide if they want to move away from the city permanently or not. Unfortunately, this tends to only be a trend for the wealthy, but who is to say that others cannot do the same buy purchasing smaller? This could be a little plot of land where they keep a camper or tents or a smaller home in a less expensive area or even a tiny home. There are many options including places where cabins are for rent!
Personally, I wouldn't purchase more than one home. I would just go on a vacation or do a little day trip! In terms of change for the living space, I would just re-arrange items and furniture in my home or maybe redecorate. What would you do?
Enjoy your weekend!
