Two Divorced Moms Buy 18th-Century Duplex Instead of Dating Apps
KEY POINTS
- â˘Sarai Saez Rogers and Claire, best friends for over a decade and both recently divorced, bought a duplex together in Utica, New York.
- â˘They combined Sarai's steady income and Claire's savings to purchase a late-18th-century home with separate kitchens and bathrooms.
- â˘Despite both having boyfriends, they maintain their living arrangement, enjoying friendship over traditional romantic setups.
Sarai Saez Rogers and Claire, post-divorce and child-wrangling veterans from secret military wife communes in New Mexico, bought an 18th-century yellow duplex in Utica, New York in summer 2024, defying realtors and societal norms alike. Each brought credit prowess and savings to the table, crafting a joint empire complete with dual kitchens and bathrooms because single-mom life judged their budget hard. Despite living with boyfriends off-site and weathering epic gin-and-tonic fueled Mulan karaoke battles, they insist platonic cohabitation > conventional marriage. These modern-day pioneers have redefined 'home sweet home' by proving divorcees can share a farmhouse without turning it into a reality show.
