It’s no secret that city life is completely different from suburban life. I’ve talked with many friends about what a challenge it can be to know when to leave the city and how to handle such a big lifestyle transition. Last year, my husband Leo and I found the perfect house in New Jersey. The adjustment wasn’t always easy, but a little over a year later I’m happy to share my journey. I hope it can be helpful for anyone else considering a move to the suburbs.
