Second home
Second home may refer to the following:
- An additional residence used primarily as a weekend or vacation retreat. (See: Pied a terre.)
- A home of a close relative or friend where one spends a great deal of time or feels welcome.
- Any place where one spends a great deal of time away from one's primary home, such as an office, a remote town or a foreign country.
Some places and cities have become focal points for second home buyers:-
On an internal or national basis, in the United States for example, Martha's Vineyard, Jupiter Island, or the Hamptons might be regarded as attracting a disproportionate number of second home buyers; in the United Kingdom certain areas of Cornwall might be regarded in a similar way; in France the same might be said of Cannes or Saint-Tropez.
On an international basis, however, in an era of hypermobility, international cities are evolving into cluster centres of second home buyers. In this regard London can be regarded as the second home capital, closely followed by New York.
