Why Moving from the City to the Suburbs Should be on Your To-Do List
Recently, our homes have become the epicenter of our lives, and we’ve needed them to become so much more than we initially realized. They are now our offices, our libraries, our gyms and a place for our family to feel safe and taken care of. That’s a lot to ask for a one bedroom apartment in the center of a large city like Dallas or Fort Worth. It’s for this reason that many individuals started looking to the suburbs for a much needed sigh of relief—and they aren’t stopping anytime soon. At Riverside Homebuilders, we’ve put together a list of reasons why you might just want to give the suburbs a second chance.
Take advantage of the space around you
With the Texas sunshine gracing the scenery more often than not, it’s no surprise that many individuals are choosing to move from their life in the city to enjoy the freedom and space the suburbs have to offer.
Being able to simply walk out of your front door and take in the sites of the city streets may be convenient, but you could be sacrificing your need for space when you choose this route. Choosing to move into your very own home gives you a plethora of both indoor and outdoor space to take advantage of. Imagine spending your evenings lounging beneath your covered patio or trying out some of our very own tips to spruce up your backyard space.
Get more value from your money
Rental prices continue to skyrocket, and you might be beginning to feel as if it’s getting harder to justify letting all of that money go each month when you know you won’t get it back. The truth of the matter is—a monthly mortgage will typically be similar to what you are already spending on a city apartment with less square footage and little to no outdoor space.
Even with this knowledge, the actual act of making the down payment could still leave you feeling as if you are not financially able to purchase a home. That’s why we’ve put together a financing guide to give our homeowners peace of mind when it comes to covering the cost of a home. Our preferred lenders are preferred for a reason, and we’ll be with you every step of the way to answer any questions that may arise.
City life when you want it—peace when you need it
A crucial fact to remember—moving to the suburbs does not mean you’re giving up a life in the city. Most of our communities are within an hour drive from the lively downtown areas of Dallas and Fort Worth—ensuring that you will never miss out on the opportunity to explore the city streets whenever you wish. For the nights that you’d rather stay in, though, you’ll be able to enjoy the peace and quiet that living away from the bustling city center gives you—truly the best of both worlds.
At Riverside Homes, we strive to give our customers the home they’ve always dreamed of, and we’re ready to do the same for you. Take a look through our floor plan options, browse our quick move-in homes or schedule a tour today to find your forever home.The Latest
