My wife and I are young parents (not 30 yet and our kid is going to be 8 soon) and don't have plans to buy a house, at least not in the next 10 or so years. We like the mobility renting affords us. We can switch jobs and move closer to work. Plus, we can switch school districts if we want or feel the need to. Also, we like not having the stress of being homeowners. A lot of people see renting as throwing money away. We see it as paying for a housing service where a lot of annoying stuff is taken care for us.
