Both have their pros and cons and depending on your current lifestyle, living situation and dependents, it can be a very difficult one to make. However, at Joe Bonnie Moving & Son Moving & Storage, we’ve put together some helpful information for when you or someone you know is struggling to make the decision between urban and suburban life.

Urban Life

Urban living means that you’re never too far away from the nightlife and hustle and bustle of people, but is that for everyone? Let’s look at the pros and cons of urban life:
