You brought up a great point about rent and location. I checked out some of my areas lowest rents: Wheaton has 1 bedroom apartment for $1540, $1119 and $1250 per month. NOTE: these apartments are in the mostly illegal section of my county. Crime is definitely an issue. Your neighbors in the apartment building won’t speak much English. Welcome to Maryland.... /s
In Italy, children living with their parents is a way of life. The daughters get married off, the sons move back in, or stay in the first place. If they are all happy and it works, so be it.
