City Apartment Living VS. Suburb Apartment Living

 


Do you know if you want to live in an apartment home in the city or in the surburbs? If your on the fence on this subject, you will have several options at your fingertips to consider  Where you choose to finally submit your application will no doubt have a larger impact on your life. So read on to find out whats best for you. 


 


What Do You Want


 


Where your apartment home is located in the city will influence how much you pay, the time you will have to spend on things during the day, and of course you social life.  We recommend that you focus on what you want and what you will need in your next apartment.  So get out your pen and a piece of paper and start to jot down the things that are important to you.


 


*Do you want a newer apartment home with the latest amenities and features? Or will an older apartment home suite your needs fine.


 


*How much can you spend on rent and your utilities?


*Do you plan on driving or using the public transportation


*What apartment amenities will you use?


 


Most renters will simply focus on rent. And many times this will determine if your apartment home is in the inner city or in the suburbs.  But if rent is not your main osbtacle, there are a series of pros and cons that will help you make your decision.


 


Suburb Apartments Vs. City Apartments


 


Here are some details you will want to become familiar with:


 


Price: City living will almost always be more expensive than living in apartments in the suburbs. There is usually not much space in the city and therefore the demand is much higher. That is why the cost is lower.


 


Tranportation:  Apartments in the city will offer public transportation in many cases. If you don’t have a car this will impact your decision.
