The beauty of cities and crowded areas is that they are full of life. If you are an active person, who loves life, city activity and people, a crowded area is ideal for you. In addition, the great advantage of crowded areas is the accessibility of rents and prices in general.

To help you decide if you're really the type of person who would like to live in a city or on a busy street, I've made a list of the pros and cons of this way of life.

Benefits

Safety. The subject of security is quite complicated and complex. There is a chance (but not a guarantee) that living in a crowded area, usually central, will be safer than a side or less inhabited area.
Cheaper rent. Most of the time, buildings in more crowded areas are sold or rented at lower prices. And who doesn't love low prices?
Easy access and availability of means of transport. If you choose to live in the city, you will probably appreciate the quick and easy access to the home, as well as the availability of public transport. Moreover, these things keep you in the middle of events. You can get home quickly and cheaply from anywhere. Plus you have direct access to shops and cafes, large malls, theaters, clubs, etc.

Disadvantage

The noise. The first and most obvious disadvantage of living in a crowded area is noise. These areas always come with heavy traffic, also crowded, with more nervous drivers or who can not detach from the horn.
If there is also a school, a hospital, a police station or a street with many sirens near the house, you must be a really active person who hates loneliness, in order to live in such a place. of area. If the house is in a historic building, with wooden joinery and single or two-layer windows, the situation is complicated.

Lack of privacy. If you are the type of person who likes attention and does not mind other people knowing or seeing when you are cooking, cleaning or having a romantic dinner, the benefits of living in a crowded area will weigh more for you.
Bigger problems with pets. If you live in a crowded area and you are a pet lover, you will not be able to leave the front door open and your four-legged friend will run freely. With so many cars and bicycles in a hurry, you will have to keep your friend on a shorter leash.
Final thoughts

If you are thinking of moving to an area or a busy street, carefully weigh the pros and cons and decide according to your lifestyle. If, for example, you are a person with a difficult sleep or waking up at the slightest noise, a crowded area is certainly not to your advantage. But if, on the other hand, you like the throbbing pulse of the city, living right in the middle of the action can be a perfect option for you.
