Pros and cons of moving to the suburbs

Pros And Cons Of Moving To The Suburbs

Moving to the suburbs is a dream come true to many. Myself included! There is no part of any city that I would rather live in. The suburbs offer everything you could possibly want whilst being close to the city. The proximity to the city is the best actual element of living in the suburbs. The fact that you have safety, peace, and quiet of a little village while being one commute away from the city has no price.

This is and always will be my primary choice. However, it is not a choice for everyone. Some people simply love being in the heart of all the dynamics a big city brings. Even when they decide to leave and try the suburban life, they leave a little piece of old life stashed. What I mean is that they put away their things in self-storage Boston in case they ever want to go back. This I can respect and have nothing against. But, there are suburban elements that I adore and that I wouldn’t change for the world.

Moving to the suburbs – benefits

As you can probably tell by now, I am partially biased to the topic. But, I did live both in a city center and in the suburbs. I have done this in more than five cities. If nothing – I have the general experience needed to discuss this topic. Trust me when I say it – living in the suburbs is brilliant. The very best part is the fact that you have everything the city can offer at your disposal whenever you want it. This is both for those owning a vehicle as well as those that commute. The commuting networks are usually so good that you can never be late for anything. Jump to Google Maps and you can compare your commute times in the city and in the suburbs. You will be amazed!

But this is just one of many benefits moving to the suburbs brings. There are quite a few but we will touch base with only the most relevant ones.

The price

The cost of moving to the suburbs is significantly lower than living downtown. The price reduction is there for a reason, and this is fine. Living in the suburbs means that you are not living in the city, as much as you would love to claim that you are. You are living on the outskirts of the city and this is why the price is reduced. The further you move away from the city center – the further the price drops. Which works very good to your advantage! Get away from the city center noise and save money whilst doing it? Yes, please! This also means that you can afford professional movers to help you with the long distance moving if that is the case.

The quiet

I cannot stress enough how important this is when considering moving to the suburbs. Having peace and quiet in your own home. After a very difficult day at work, you get to return to your castle and rest without interruptions. Living in the actual hearing of the city makes this almost impossible. Maybe I am old at this point, or not, but being able to take a nap without any traffic waking you up is priceless.
