The stresses of life are numerous and the opportunities to enjoy ourselves, our family, and our friends are precious. We are only afforded a few chances a year to truly be ourselves and rarely do we take notice and take advantage of these chances. Living in a city makes it painfully obvious that our freedoms are limited, our independence is conditional, and our peace of mind contingent on material realities, but these concerns which affect and dilute the living experience need only cloud the mind for eleven months out of the year. If you are considering an escape, or a place to relax, there is no more perfect sanctuary and vacation that a trip to a newly built summer dwelling. Consider the advantages of different locations when planning to build a new home away from home.

Maine, or as it is better known to families with summer houses on its pristine and secluded lakes, “the vacation state”, is one of the prime pieces of real estate to consider when attempting to build new quarters in which to spend your summers. Maine has a relatively small population that is comparatively high in spirit and humor, and is home to all ages and professions of people from lobsterman and lumberjacks, to vacationers and writers. The great Stephen King at one point called Maine home, and used the peaceful state as the backdrop of many of his most famous stories. As a location to build a summer dwelling, Maine is optimal for the hardy individual who doesn’t mind a little precipitation, has a love of outdoors and a love of company. As if these qualities weren’t enough, Maine is home to arguably the best lobster in the world, an excellent treat for the vacationer spending time in the newly built home away from home.

On the opposite end of the climate spectrum, temperate New Orleans has become another ideal spot to build a new vacation residence. Partly due to the tragic events of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the price of land in New Orleans has dropped and now is an excellent time to consider building a house on the outskirts of this famous Louisiana city. One need not feel too terribly the pangs of guilt, as New Orleans locals welcome the opportunity to meet new neighbors and will be more than glad to indulge your desire to tour (and spend) in the Crescent City. However, building a new summer house in New Orleans should not be taken as an invitation to disrespect the culture and the history of the city. While the price of land in the South is historically low right now, the vibrancy and dignity of the people who have been affected by the dropping prices and disastrous misfortunes around the coastal region remains in tact, and should be taken at all times as deserving of the utmost respect and consideration.

While there is no perfect place to build a summer abode, the opportunities afforded by Maine and Louisiana provide ample chance for the perspective home-builder to find their niche, build a new house, and start to feel at home.
