That is why you should compare locations as carefully as you compare houses. First you should weigh the pros and cons of living in the city, the suburbs or the country. Your decision will depend on factors such as your personal tastes, your employment situation, and how you like to spend your spare time. For instance, some people like to be out in the suburbs or the country and don't often use the amenities that cities have to offer. Some people enjoy the amenities of the city and would feel isolated in the country.
Some people hate to commute long distances and want to live near their work.
Other people work out of their homes, so they do not have to commute at all. Certain considerations will be important regardless of your household structure. You should be concerned about the quality of services available in the area. The other side of the equation involves how much you will be asked to pay in local taxes in the jurisdiction. You should try to find an area that offers high quality service for reasonable tax rates.
