"We lived in an older house, so we had to do a lot of updating to get it ready for the market, sell it, and get it under contract. We moved from a six-bedroom home to a three-bedroom apartment, so we really had to downsize - everything from furniture and lawn tools to our two cars had to go. I decreased all of our clothing to a quarter of what we had."
"We thought moving to New York was an impossible dream. We visited a lot and loved the feeling in the city. It took us 10 years before the opportunity finally presented itself when my husband got a job in New York. We moved from Salt Lake City to New York City on October 10, 2025."
"Utah is home, but we found ourselves traveling all the time. We were always on the road. We used to homeschool our kids so that we could travel."
A couple with five young children moved from the Salt Lake City area to New York City on October 10, 2025 after the husband secured a job there. The family valued proximity to family, nature, and local dining, but sought greater exposure to diverse cultures and lifestyles for their children. They homeschooled while traveling extensively before deciding to relocate. The move required updating and selling an older six-bedroom house, then downsizing to a three-bedroom apartment, shedding vehicles, furniture, tools, and most clothing. Housing costs doubled, but daily life in New York feels like a dream.
