Jenna is also hoping for an outdoor space where she can garden and relax. The couple has a budget of $800,000, so their realtor has several options to show them.
The second couple, Rachel and Michael, are tired of their long commute from the suburbs and want to move closer to their jobs in the city.

Alex is an artist and wants to have a space where she can create and display her work. They have a budget of $600,000, so their realtor must find a condo that fits their criteria and their budget.
Each couple tours several properties with their realtor, weighing the pros and cons of each one. They must also consider factors like location, commute time, and available amenities in their new neighborhood.
