When Should You Move? Where Should You Live?

After high school or college, young adults typically move out of their parent’s house and start to make a life for themselves. Typically, these people move into a smaller apartment complex or rent a home with roommates. After a while they may outgrow the space and feel the need to move to a larger apartment or condo with more square footage. Their lifestyle may change and require a bigger home. A couple may get married and move in together, they may decide to have kids or adopt a dog- both require more space to grow.
