Another lease renewal, another number that went up.
The rent goes up every year.
The renewal shows up, the number is higher than last year, and you sign it because finding something better costs more time than you’ve got.
Buying near campus isn’t realistic.
Home prices within a reasonable drive of campus climbed faster than any salary did, and they never came back down.
None of it is ever yours.
Twelve more payments a year toward a place you’ll never own. A good job should be enough to own where you live.
Own instead of renew.
Thirty-four new homes in Morrisdale. The payment goes toward something you keep.
You’re not moving into an old park with a new sign.
We watched what happened to housing around State College. That’s why this place is being rebuilt.
The old park is coming down to the ground. What goes back is new roads, new landscaping, and thirty-four homes nobody has lived in, each with a covered porch and a poured driveway.
Drive out and walk it. You’ll know inside five minutes whether it’s the kind of street you want to pull into.
Three steps to your own front porch.
