An addictive easy way to shop for homes
The number of parents opting to start their families in the city has been rising over the last few decades. But choosing which city to call home can be a difficult decision. What makes for a good place to settle down is of course subjective, but Estately believes there are a number of ways to measure a city’s family friendliness.
America is home to millions of passionate barbecue fans, people who love the marriage of smoke, fire, and meat. It’s also filled with poor, misguided souls whose idea of barbecue is an annual McRib from McDonalds. The difference between these two largely comes down to geography.
From all-you-can-eat buffets to cooking-themed reality TV shows, America is a nation obsessed with food. While this obsession obviously influences where Americans eat out, it’s also a factor in where people choose to buy a home.
America’s skies may be beautiful and spacious, but there’s a multitude of dangers found from sea to shining sea. From the snake and spider-infested American Southwest to the volcano strewn West Coast to the tornado and meth-scarred Midwest, this is a land that scares the stuffing right out of our Thanksgiving turkeys.
As the sun sets later over the horizon and the familiar song of the ice cream truck returns to suburban streets we at Estately are day-dreaming about long, lazy days at the beach. With this in mind we set out to find the best coastal states for lounging ocean-side. We researched where sharks seem willing to share the water limb-tax free, where the waves are warmest, but the rain is scarce and, of course, where the tastiest ice cream awaits.
