Somewhere you can take the family for a few weeks in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/6610\/summer-things-to-do-nyc\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">summer months<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The question is, where\u2019s the best place to do this?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Look for in a Summer Vacation House<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the pandemic hit in the spring of 2020, most people thought they wanted to spend more time at home. People who had longed for the opportunity to work from home finally got that chance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what these folks \u2013 perhaps you included \u2013&nbsp;soon realized was that being home all the time isn\u2019t all it\u2019s cracked up to be. People got stir-crazy, bored, and exhausted from having the same reclusive routines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were obviously far more important things that happened during the pandemic, but this realization was a \u201clight bulb\u201d moment for many. It made people realize that there\u2019s something to be said for switching up your environment, evolving your routines, and keeping things fresh in your life.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s certainly not an option for everyone, one way you can do this is by living in a summer house for a few weeks out of the year. This is basically a different house where you get away from the monotonous daily routines of your normal life and switch things up for a few weeks each summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A summer house means different things to different people. However, you\u2019re typically going to want to find something that embodies some\/all of the following characteristics:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Good weather. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no sense in going somewhere with unpleasant weather. While most areas in the country are going to be fairly hot during the summer months, don\u2019t choose somewhere with blistering heat or suffocating humidity. You want a place with decent weather that allows you to enjoy the great outdoors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Low maintenance. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last thing you want to do is spend your time doing a bunch of maintenance projects and tasks all the time. Pick a low-maintenance property that doesn\u2019t have a massive yard and lots of landscaping (unless you\u2019re comfortable paying someone to do it for you).<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Plenty to do. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There should be plenty of things to do in the surrounding city or town. You want to give yourself the flexibility to dine out, go on excursions, or enjoy activities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>House potential. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for a house that has lots of potential for being a fun summer house. For example, is there room to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rtaoutdoorliving.com\/outdoor-kitchen-ideas-for-design-inspiration\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">build your own outdoor kitchen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Is there space to build a workshop? What about a swimming pool? Think in terms of potential.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Resale value. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s always a possibility that you\u2019ll want to resell this property in the near future. Make sure you\u2019re buying a summer house in a city and neighborhood that has good resale value. (In other words, don\u2019t choose a tiny rural town where people are no longer moving.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 Top Cities for a Summer Vacation House<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, now that we\u2019ve discussed some of the things to look for in a summer house, here\u2019s a quick rundown of some of our favorite cities for buying a summer house:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Seaside, Florida<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever seen <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Truman Show<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Jim Carey? Well, you can actually live in that same idyllic town (without all the hidden cameras and paid actors, of course). Located along a 26-mile stretch of beaches that are known collectively as 30A, Seaside is a picturesque beach town with pastel homes, world-class dining, and plenty of shopping.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Bend, Oregon<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that Bend has the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">highest average sunny days<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the state of Oregon? The weather is seemingly gorgeous all spring and summer. It\u2019s just a three-hour drive south of Portland and has plenty to do. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you love the outdoors, you\u2019re going to enjoy the 300-plus miles of climbing routes and biking trails. Plus, there\u2019s a massive river snaking through the town, which is perfect for fishing, kayaking, or floating on a tube. Check out our tips for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/world\/30657\/top-things-to-see-in-oregon-your-2022-trip\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">things to do in Oregon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Harbor Springs, Michigan<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a serene town located on the banks of Lake Michigan. During the summer, there\u2019s incredibly pleasant weather, lots of fishing, good golfing, sailing, and plenty of good food and shopping. Stick around for autumn and you\u2019ll be blown away by the foliage.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Grand Lake, Colorado<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If hiking, adventure, and great views are your thing, you\u2019ll love Grand Lake. It\u2019s located at the mouth of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/romo\/index.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rocky Mountain National Park<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and offers plenty to do. This includes shopping, fine dining, and a thriving arts scene.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find Your Dream Summer Escape<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where do you want to buy your dream summer escape?
