“I could not imagine living back in the US full-time”: Family leaves New York, buys $13,000 home in Italy and later purchases a second property

After leaving New York City and buying a home in rural Italy for just $13,000, Cassandra Tresl said she has no desire to return to America permanently. The mother of one, who moved to Italy with her family in 2023, says the lower cost of living, mortgage-free homeownership and slower pace of life have transformed their future. “At this point in our lives, I could not imagine living back in the US full-time,” she was quoted as saying by the New York Post.
