In July 2015, we moved into a duplex house in Fresh Meadows in Queens. We picked this place because the neighborhood is relatively safe, and because we also wanted a house that came with a garage. The house is rented at an affordable price compared to apartments. We have a basement; living room, dining room, and kitchen on the first floor; 3 bedrooms on the second floor; and an attic. Even though it is a duplex house, the space is ample enough for my family of 6. I've been living here for almost 3 years and so, the house is starting to feel more like a home, especially considering the past consecutive temporary residences I've had.

In the future, I hope to become a homeowner so that I wouldn't have to worry about moving around too much.
