Card image cap

After living in New York City, Cassandra Tresl and her husband bought a home in Italy’s Abruzzo region for about $13,100 in cash and spent another $17,100 renovating it. Today, they live in a small town where life is slower, daily costs are lower and raising a child feels more affordable.
