In Real Estate ® one of the oldest questions people have been asking for generations is if it’s better for them to move to the city or suburbs.

This is an important question to ask because, moving to the city or suburbs both have their pros and cons.

Before making a decision on your next move read this post to learn more about if the city or suburbs are right for you.

Why Move To The City?

Pros - Some of the pros of living in the city include: many restaurants to choose from, more stores for shopping, lots of entertainment options and better access to Internet or telecom services which you may want to use at home or in your business.

Cons – Higher crime rates, higher home prices, busy streets and fewer friendly neighbors are just some of the things you might find when you move to the city but if your goal is to enjoy a fast paced life, and options which can’t be found in the suburbs, then the tradeoff may be worth it for you.

Why Move To The Suburbs?

Pros – Lower home prices, safer streets, more green spaces and that small town feel are some of the things you will find when you move to the suburbs.

Cons – Yes, the pros might outweigh the cons when it comes to living in the suburbs, but, it’s also important to consider that living away from the city might increase your commute if you work there and that will also mean less time with your family during the week as well.

Ultimately your decision to live in the city vs. living in the suburbs all comes down to personal choice so it’s best to weigh all of the pros and cons plus the real financial costs of both before making your decision.
