5 COMMON REASONS
FOR MOVING
In the U.S., the average person moves every five years, or about six times in a
lifetime. Choosing where to live is deeply personal, but it doesn’t have to be
stressful. If you’re wondering why people relocate, here are the top reasons:
EDUCATION
Families often move to areas
with better schools, while
students may relocate for higher
education opportunities.
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
Marriage, cohabitation, blended
families, and divorce often drive
relocation for space, privacy, or a
fresh start.
JOB OPPORTUNITIES & COMMUTE
A new job or the desire for a
shorter commute can prompt a
move. Studies show living within
ten miles of work improves worklife balance and overall wellbeing.
PROXIMITY TO LOVED ONES
Many choose to live closer to
family, whether to support aging
parents, be near grandchildren,
or simply stay connected.
SPACE NEEDS
Growing families may upsize for
more room, while empty nesters
often downsize for convenience
and efficiency.
