As life begins to open up more than ever since the COVID lockdown, our lifestyles and living habits haven’t necessarily reverted to “normal.” It’s fair to say we’ve evolved, and we’ve come to know ourselves and our families on a deeper level. Out of everything we’ve learned, one thing stands out: the value of outdoor spaces. Our collective appreciation of the outdoors has undoubtedly increased, whether for restaurants, parks, or patios. We spoke with Judie Parks at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Parks & Weisberg, REALTORS®, to learn more about the increasing value of outdoor living.











We recently added a fire pit area similar to the one in the photo, and it completely changed how we entertain. Last week, I was looking up ways to make our new deck feel cozier at night. While reading through some forums, I ended up going down a rabbit hole about TwinklingTree LED decor trying to find some budget-friendly ambient lighting. Investing in our outdoor space has honestly been the best decision for our family's sanity!
