In the U.S, virtually every kind of housing imaginable is available somewhere. Want to live in a home made of earth? Then cosider an adobe house in Arizona. Love to look down on people? Then a Manhattan high-rise apartment might be just right for you! Your choices will be determined, however, by where you choose to live. For example, you won't be able to live in a mobile home in New York City and you won't be able to live in a high-rise in Red Bay, Alabama. In choosing housing, you will need to consider several factors including:
- your budget
- size of your family or whether you will have roommates
- distance to work
- distance to and quality of schools if you have school-aged children
