City living is an excellent option for people in and around the downtown core. You will be close to everything you need from grocery stores to shops, services, and entertainment. Almost everything is only a short walk away or accessible through public transit. If you drive, however, parking may be a challenge.
Space is usually limited and the cost of parking passes can add up quickly.
The bustling city also has a lot of activity going on. This can attract people to coffee houses, open markets, and the night life. It can also turn people off if the traffic, bright lights, and sounds of the big city are not to their liking. The size of homes and lots can also be smaller and more expensive. If the big city is not for you, maybe a home in the suburbs is.
