The rate of home ownership among young people in America has dropped significantly along with household net worth in the last several years. Because of the struggling job market and strict lending restrictions, home ownership for younger citizens has become difficult to achieve. Enter: apartment communities – affordable and attractive options for a person of a younger age, or any age for that matter.
Households made up of occupants 35 years or younger have largely opted for apartment renting instead of home ownership, even for young families with children. Some were forced out of their homes due to foreclosures following the Great Recession and others have been discouraged to buy in the current high-risk state of the housing market.
