City Living vs. Suburban Living: Understanding the Appeal of Suburban Areas
In the wake of the world events of the early 2020s, many people have taken time to reflect on the concepts of ‘home’ and ‘work’ and their significance in their lives. With work-from-home options becoming more widely available, new possibilities have emerged for various groups of people, prompting them to explore different lifestyles, places to live, and ways of working.
The result is a growing trend towards discovering the joy of leaving city life behind to embrace a better quality of life and enjoy the extra space that comes with it. There’s also the benefit of getting more value for your money, which gives you the chance to buy a property that would otherwise be out of reach in a major city.
