Condos and lofts are synonymous with the city. Sure, you can find them in other areas as well, but in reality, cities are condo houses and lofts. In many urban areas, there simply isn’t enough space for a cluster of single-family homes. But there is plenty of room for buildings that soar into the sky and have multiple housing units. Not sure if you want to live in the heart of the city? Here are five reasons to reconsider.
1. Entertainment. Over the course of a day in the city, you could have breakfast in a small café; Do some shopping; have lunch at a restaurant of your choice; attend a sporting event; do some more shopping; have dinner or a drink in another restaurant; and then go to a concert or play. And the next day, you could have the exact same hours, but visit all the different places and events. In short, the options are many.
2. Transportation. From buses to taxis, trains and light rails, there is no shortage of ways to get around the city. And depending on where you go, you may not even need such transportation. Many people do little more than walk or bike. If you must go out of town, you can probably find a method of transportation that suits your needs.
3. Parks. The vast majority of cities were planned well enough that there is at least some green space available within their boundaries. That means you can find a place to have a picnic or just stop to read a book and feel like you are out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Some parks have walking trails and other basic amenities, while others may have play areas and soccer fields, for example.
4. Visitors. If you have friends who live out of town, they may want to come visit you at some point. While they may not want to live in the city, most people enjoy, at least once in a while, what the city has to offer. Learn about some of the best events and attractions and chances are you will rarely be left without company.
5. Action. There is always something going on in the city. Many people are not connected with silence. They want to hear people, traffic, and other noises that indicate activity. They want to be able to get something to eat at 6 in the morning as easily as 6 in the afternoon. They want to have some kind of activity available to them at any time of the day. That is what the city offers.
