Exactly - it varies person to person and company to company.

Personally I'm changing my lifestyle to have a small urban apartment in the city close to work, shops and services; and a house close to the beach around 1 hr by car / 1.5hrs by train away. I plan to move back and forth around once a week.

For me this ticks a lot of boxes and I'm happy to overcome the hassles involved. I can see it becoming a more popular lifestyle. I couldn't do the 'fully remote' move to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere.



I just signed a lease on an apartment to do something very similar. House out in the country, apartment in a very walkable town just outside a major metro area. The motivation was to help a family member in that town but I’m stoked at the prospect of having both.

It’s definitely a bit of an indulgence but i could downsize both once my youngest is on her own.


If you care to use an established term for it, there's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pied-%C3%A0-terre


Oh nice!! Thank you!
