In the 1950s, many Americans moved from urban areas to the suburbs, seeking more space, affordable housing, and a perceived better quality of life. This suburbanization was facilitated by the availability of automobiles and the expansion of highways, making commuting to cities easier. Additionally, the post-World War II economic boom contributed to a growing middle class that could afford to buy homes in these new suburban developments.
