Bye, Bye, Big Apple!

Leaving New York City

New York City tends to top the list as one of the most desirable and sought-after places to live, but it’s certainly not for everyone. The city’s close quarters and heavily-populated avenues may not be a prime place for your COVID-19 quarantine or maybe it’s simply time for greener pastures beyond the concrete jungle. After living in the Big Apple for a while, you would certainly not be the first person – nor the last – to decide that the bustling metropolis is not all it’s cracked up to be, and set your sights on the suburbs.

Better Budget in the Burbs

First and foremost, you can likely get more for your money out in the suburbs. Whether renting or buying, the potential to get more bang for your buck in the suburbs is undeniable, especially if you’re ditching NYC – one of the most expensive places to live in the United States. It goes beyond interior space, too; not only will you have more space to sprawl inside your new suburban home, but you’ll also have the benefit of lawns and greenspaces to give you breathing room.

Alternatively, sticking to the smaller spaces you got used to in the city could mean affording a higher-end place that would have been out of reach in NYC, but that fits comfortably into your new suburban budget.

Keep It Down!

Between constant traffic sounds, sirens, and rogue shouts from the sidewalk, New York City has never-ending soundtrack. While you may have gotten used to it over time, all that clamor is hardly ideal for all those at-home conference calls that characterize the new normal. It’s tough to find a single uninterrupted moment of Zen amidst all the noise.

Self-Care Central

Life in the city has a lot to offer, but so does a suburban set-up. Imagine not having to drive hours outside of town to indulge your more outdoorsy hobbies and reconnect with nature. Consider the peace of mind you’ll have without the distraction of crowds. Moving could be doing yourself a massive favor. Think of the big sigh of relief you’ll be able to take when your air is cleaner. Though the suburbs aren’t a cure-all for everything that ails you, they may provide a reprieve from some of the health concerns urban living brought to your attention.
