Is it better to live in a city or a town?Is it better to live in a city or a town?

We are often faced with the dilemma between going to live in a town or a city. There are many families who, faced with this situation, generally stagnate and find it difficult to decide which path to choose. From Safire Real Estate we want to help you in the decision process through our experience in the real estate sector and accompany you in one of the most important moments of your life.

Workers residing in cities who can opt for teleworking and especially those with sufficient financial resources, seek the comfort and tranquility of the town, away from noise, pollution... Are you one of them? You will have realized then that to telework Wi-Fi is in fact one of the main factors to consider. 


REASON 1: THE WIFI

If you are considering acquiring a second residence in a town, or perhaps acquiring a home for your habitual residence, you should make sure that the purchase ofyour new home is going to be as great as this one. Questions related to telephone companies in the area, coverage of breakdowns, blackouts and electrical supplies are now a priority. And it is that without Wi-Fi, there is no teleworking. Our luxurious urban life is in danger and if we have children at home, “no Wi-Fi” can seriously disrupt our peaceful country life.


REASON 2: DISTANCES

Speaking of children, the fear that they will not be able to enjoy a comfortable and healthy life leads us to look for a different environment in our search for housing: smaller, less populated, quieter Yeah. And with fewer resources than we are used to. Yes too. Because all that glitters in bucolic rural life is not gold. And the education of children is just as important: have you already thought about which institute, college or center they are going to continue their studies? Sooner or later they will need their autonomy, move without your permission and consequently, they will need transportation (public or private) within their reach and disposal. Because yes, not having to take the car to go to work means great monthly savings and less pollution. But you must have public transport networks and roads close and suitable for your new home. A very decisive factor when acquiring a town house if you do not have a medical clinic or pharmacy next to your home.

Does that ring true? So far we have seen the questions you ask yourself when renting your vacation apartment, right? There's a supermarket, there are doctors nearby, it's close to the beach, they have Wi-Fi… Well, that's it. The advice we give you is precisely this: consider your new life as a perfect vacation where you would stay for life. A vacation in which everything must be planned. And if your dream is interrupted… Choose other options, being important now if you visit your trusted real estate agency.


        Consider your new life as a perfect vacation where you would stay for life, in which everything must be planned.


REASON 3: LEISURE

However, these questions surely you had not even asked yourself in your current habitual residence in the city, right? The need creates doubt and you reconsider endless pros and cons. After all, the city is not so bad... There are cinemas, restaurants, many shops... A lot of variety. So, is it really more beneficial to trade the city for the countryside?


REASON 4: HEALTH

If we go back to the beginning of the article, we are in a post-pandemic world. And in this world, buying a townhouse and moving out of town has great health benefits. If we compare it with houses in cities, in a town house the environmental and noise pollution is usually much less, especially if we want to purchase a home built in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. A factor that is so necessary at the present time, and that in a rural environment will be much easier to achieve. And let's face it: it is very gratifying to allow yourself the luxury of sleeping with the windows open in summer because there is no noise from the street. How many years have you been unable to do it?


 REASON 5: WORK 

Once we already have Once the strong points of our choice have been solved, it is time to think about those whose work may vary or even those who think about the acquisition or purchase of a town house as a work alternative. It's risky, but it can work, once again, we must be willing to sacrifice comfort for future global well-being.Of course, you have to be aware that despite the fact that a town has good parts in terms of prices and real estate supply, it has a bad job offer.


REASON 6: SPACES

And if we talk about work, we cannot forget what was mentioned at the beginning of this article: the space factor influences the decision to purchase your new home. Real estate agents have now become the main searchers for homes with sufficient or convertible spaces for work areas. And this is due to the fact that many small businesses see closing their premises and switching to teleworking or coworking as their near future, simply because it is more advantageous for them. So, having your workspace at home is not just an option, but is currently a necessity.

And this need is what leads you, the future buyer, to search for space and not so much for areas. Because in the post-pandemic world, the quality of your space takes precedence over the proximity of your home to the workplace.


If you are looking for a home away from the city, this is just the beginning of a long list of factors to take into account.
