5 Perks of Living in a Big City

Big city living is exciting! Its full of life and movement 24 hours a day. Big city life has greater opportunities for personal and professional growth, endless option of day and night entertainment, cultural diversity to expand your horizons, and probably most importantly of all...a unique chance to re-discover who you really are and what you really want in life.

Here are the 5 perks of living in a big city.

1. Mass Transit
You can avoid horrific traffic jams and teeth-grinding commutes by simply using mass transit. Taking public transportation can free up a significant amount of time and attention. Because there is someone else driving, it allows passengers to spend their time reading, studying, or catching up  on work, instead of having to watch the road. It can also reduce commute time, with one study claiming that Americans living in areas with public transportation save some 850 million hours of travel time each year. It may also be possible to ride a bike, walk, carpool, or combine any of these options for your convenience.

2. Housing
Living in a big city comes with some big city prices. If you want to experience life in a big city, yet save a few bucks, check out affordable suburban neighborhoods. Dallas is a pretty awesome place to call home. Dallas Homes for Sale, offers many unique neighborhoods that are packed with historic homes and new construction. Living in the beauty of these subdivisions may be something you never thought you would have. Yet, it's very much possible!

3. Shopping
New York City is notorious for its amazing shopping districts. Designer sample sales are popular with fashion lovers who want a bargain. Chicago is also among the best cities for shopping in the United States. Everything from high-end and mainstream department stores, boutiques, and jewelers attracts a multitude of shoppers. Los Angeles offers Rodeo Drive, which is one of the best-known shopping districts in the entire world. Houston is not only the largest city in Texas, but its also the best city to go shopping when you're in the Lone-Star state. Houston is also home to the largest mall in Texas, with more than 375 stores and boutiques.

4. Entertainment
With live theaters, museums, art galleries, garden exhibits, and everything in between...big cities are just plain fun! And thanks to many diverse entertainment options, you can pay as much or as little as you want. Locations range from free (parks) to pricey (multi-day concerts). You'll never be bored living in a big city, and your social calendar will be full of excitement!

5. Healthier Lifestyle
Big cities tend to have healthy, happy residents and it's primarily because of several sidewalks, parks, and accessible public transportation. Many people living in big cities have, on average, significantly lower rates of smoking, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and depression. This is attributed to walker-friendly trails, easy biking access, city parks, a variety of urban fitness centers, and public transportation which many passengers walk to utilize it.
