This is the area where I currently live, which is only a couple blocks away from my old house, therefore I am still living in Bensonhurst. In July of 2003, my parents, along with my uncles, aunts and grandparents, bought a four-family house. My mother said they wanted to move houses because they no longer wanted to rent a home anymore; they wanted a home of their own. To have their own home meant they had their own privacy, their own space that belonged to them. Also, with the move into our own space, we were also able to accommodate for my little brother who was born just a year before the move.
