hodgesmaria+Followcity condo vs suburban house $2,500 a month in the city gets you a 1-bedroom apartment. No parking, no laundry, neighbors on the other side of the wall. $2,500 a month in the suburbs? A 3-bedroom house with a yard, garage, and maybe even a basement. One is “living the city dream.” The other is actual space to breathe. So what are we really paying for—location, or quality of life? #House #CostOfLiving #CityVsSuburbs20Share
Heather Moore+FollowSuburb Dream, City Soul: My Moving MistakeEver thought more space and quiet would fix your life? This LA family traded city chaos for a massive suburban house—think pool, fruit trees, and endless closet space. But after the novelty wore off, the silence and distance from friends hit hard.

So here’s the tradeoff: Do you want restaurants downstairs, or a real kitchen upstairs? #House #CityVsSuburbs #CostOfLiving10Share
