When I was young, we played inside a cardboard box. To be fair, it was a very large box—a playhouse, in fact, brightly decorated with the cast of Looney Tunes. We kept it in the basement, along with our play kitchen and other toys, and spent many days enjoying a space that was just for us kids. Times have changed.

With residents spending so much time inside their homes, they have reprioritized what they are looking for when it comes to their next home.
