A suburb is a residential neighborhood area on the outskirts of a city. There are many factors and aspects that are attracting the LGBT community to the suburbs for single family homes.

Here are the top five reasons to consider the suburbs for your next home purchase;

1.You generally get β€œmore home for the buck”. In many cities your budgeted purchase price will buy you twice the square footage in the suburbs.

2.The suburbs offer larger residential lots compared to living in the city plus there are a lot of options for country club homes for sale. InΒ Β  addition these homes tend to be cheaper to maintain, as they are newer and require less maintenance, and may be green built offering lower utilities.

3. Also of benefit, by definition, the suburban area is within mass transit commuting distance to the core of the city and the jobs, services and entertainment it offers.

4.Typically, there is less pollution and more open air; leading to better health and higher quality of life. For an open-air feel, bifold fly screens tuck away unseen. There is also usually less traffic in suburbs, allowing greater ease of traveling to destinations such as local stores and restaurants.

5. Lastly, in general, suburbs typically boast less crime, newer/more modern schools, and excellent recreation areas.
