Americans Are Flocking to These Small Locales To 'Townsize' This Summer
Briefly

The trend known as 'townsizing' emphasizes the quest for quaint-city charm and authentic connections, reflecting a shift towards domestic exploration. Many vacationers and potential homebuyers are attracted to smaller towns for affordability and a slower-paced lifestyle, as urban areas become congested again. There is an increasing interest in purchasing vacation homes in smaller towns, indicating a desire for a more semipermanent engagement with the small-town lifestyle rather than just fleeting visits.
