I'm with Heights on this one. My block is about 1/2 renters and 1/2 owners. But we're a social bunch and we mostly know each other by name. The renters who don't reach out or get to know anybody really miss out. They're just renting walls and waiting for the next move. Kinda sad, actually. I can't even go 2 blocks to the bank without seeing somebody I know. I've lived more places than I can remember, but this social element is what makes it "home", regardless of how many months or years it might last. I'm still friends with my neighbors from when I was renting in Ohio in 1978, then Philadelphia, then London, then New York, and finally Jersey City. And moving during the winter sucks because nobody is outside and being social so it's hard to get started as a newcomer...

After the pictures have been hung and curtains.

Nothing feels like home like your own art and creativity on the walls.

Moving only feels good when you are moving into a better place than your last place.

Simple. When you stop wishing you lived somewhere else. Might be day 1. Might be never.

Argh.. I wish we settle. We also moved 8 times in 7 years and it seems harder and harder although we are getting lighter and lighter with possessions:)

Question for all of you who rent a property.

When do you feel "home" after you move in a new place? Is that: time framed for you (days or weeks) or certain thing (hanging pictures or stuff)?
I just realized, for me..it is when I'm ok with sitting in a bathtub finally and eating a bit of food that fell on the floor(that is after..2 weeks of frantic and constant scrubbing).
My husband is an easier dude who is home where his pillow is.
You?


Being someone that has moved between countries and places fairly often, I'm very aware of that time it takes for a place to feel like "home". It is one of the worst parts of moving - no place feels like "home". For me, it was somewhere around getting curtains hung up on the windows, and getting my framings on the walls.

Moving again in a couple months. Here we go again.
