Homes are our refuges from the masses and places where families are raised, friends socialize, and where our most memorable times are shared.

Research clearly indicates that the latter leads to a sense of personal wellbeing.

Cushing Terrell
There is a quote attributed to Wayne Gretzky that you have likely seen in PowerPoint presentations. It is the one about skating to where the puck is going, rather than where it is.
