For me it's never been a question of could. I just wouldn't and don't. Had occasions in my life then I had two residences and hated it. But if I could, I'd have a little condo in NYC or flat in Paris.

      My family has a vacation house in Highlands, North Carolina (Buck Creek), and a lake house in central Florida (Lake Como). 

      Next week I am going to visit my Mom and my sister in North Myrtle Beach, SC which is right on the North Carolina state line; I will do some "window shopping" for properties there.

      I lived in Arizona for several years; I have family there, also family in Utah.   I love that part of the country, it's tempting, but it's "too far from home".

Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor, ePRO, CRS, RCS-D There are several places I've enjoyed living both as my primary residence and secondary residence.

However, as strictly for a secondary or "vacation" residence, my wife and I have a home in my wife's hometown in Portugal.

You can't beat the quality of the food, the location is about a mile from the beach, and it's relaxing, scenic, and historically rich.

There was a nice island just outside Quebec city that had wonderful views of the Montmorency waterfall.  Of course, I'd also like one in Huggins Town, Ireland or on Huggins Road in Huggins Missouri.  I did see some nice apartments being built in Ottawa's Italian section too...
