Whether you are looking for a peaceful, amenity-filled neighborhood or a community-feel in the city, buying a home is a decision that takes some thinking! Let us make it easier to choose the right option for you and your family by giving you the break down on the differences and benefits of inner-city and suburban living.
SUBURBS
Amenities
Take advantage of living closer to nature in the suburbs, which offer amenities like walking trails, private water parks, wellness/recreation centers, and even dog parks all while allowing you to reside in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood! What does that mean for you? You can say goodbye to the hassle of having a long travel time when having a fun day out with your family!
School Systems
If you have children, you know living near the best school districts is a major factor when considering a new home. In the suburbs, you can count on being surrounded by top of the line education systems that have been proven to excel and provide the resources your child needs to succeed.
Cost & Space
The famous saying “you get what you pay for” is far from the truth when it comes to the suburbs! Getting to live in the outskirts of the city allows you to get much more for your money, which means you can get a bigger house and keep the yard too!
INNER CITY
Lifestyle
With inner-city living, the amenities are located all around you! Take advantage of a location that offers a thriving environment with some of the city’s best dining and entertainment options just minutes away. Here, you will be able to witness Houston’s diverse and vibrant culture like you’ve never seen before!
Commute
Transportation is made easy when living in the city! Inner-city neighborhoods like Knoll Park or Upland Preserve allow you to take a short ride to get to all your favorite locations or choose from a wide range of options provided by the METRO system!
Walkability
Tired of the Uber or gas costs? One major perk about living in the city is being able to experience it far beyond the windows of your car! Take a healthier alternative and walk or bike to witness culturally and architecturally diverse areas such as Montrose, Midtown, the Museum District, the heights, and much more!
Although these options are far from being the same, both offer a vast variety of advantages for you and your family to enjoy! As you can see, either one would provide a great living space, though the best choice comes down to you’re the lifestyle you prefer.
