Zoom Town Trend

With this year's pandemic accelerating the shift towards remote work, living near the office is quickly becoming a thing of the past. With so many people working from home, many are taking advantage of the opportunity to reconsider their home's location. Not only is this spurring a quick recovery for the housing market, but it's also leading to an exciting new trend that's popping-up here in 2020: the rise of the Zoom Town.

So what exactly is a Zoom Town? It's often a beach town, lake town, or even just a peaceful secluded area of the country. More importantly, it's far away from the normal bustling cities that have traditionally served as the heart of the business world. Zoom Towns are seeing rapid growth this year, as many people are choosing to work where they vacation and vacation where they work.

Why New England's Zoom Towns Are a Great Place to Live and Work

New England Zoom Towns have traditionally been popular vacation destinations, but now they are becoming homes to thousands of people across the country who are looking to maximize their work/life balance. Setting up your home office in front of a scenic New England landscape can not only help you be more productive at work but can allow you to quickly recharge on the weekends and evenings.

Our real estate agents came up with a list of top reasons why it just might be time to make the move to New England:

  • Peaceful Landscapes
    New England has no shortage of forested mountains and beautiful lakes that create stunning landscapes. It's also famous for having the best fall foliage in the country. Every autumn, you'll see beautiful vibrant colors everywhere you look. By letting New England serve as the backdrop to your workday, you'll be sure to focus with limited distractions.

  • Four Distinct Seasons
    For those who truly like to experience every season, New England's Zoom Towns are a great place to live. Summer brings warm weather and tons of outdoor / water activities, while the area's snowy winters create great opportunities for sledding and skiing. New Englanders also take fall very seriously and there is no shortage of warm apple cider and pumpkin patches.

  • Fun Outdoor Activities
    Lots of mountains mean adventurous hiking trails in the summer and great skiing in the winter. Hitting the trails or slopes is the best way to stay fit and unwind after work. There are also plenty of lakes around, which make water activities a big deal in New England. 

  • Charming Beach Towns
    Many people dream of making the beach their office, which is why it's no surprise Maine's beach towns are becoming popular Zoom Towns. After all, nothing says rest and relaxation like an evening walk on the sand, ice cream, and salty air. Maine's coast is also full of picturesque lighthouses, cliffs, and seascapes.

  • Fantastic Cuisine
    Working remotely in New England means easy access to delicious cuisine. While the area is known for its lobster, coastal towns offer fresh seafood all year long. And don't forget about Boston Cream Pie or cider doughnuts for dessert. New England food is something you truly have to experience for yourself.
