Compare and Contrast

        When looking for a home, location is a key element. Depending on your lifestyle and personal preference, to choose a home that is suitable, you must know the differences in country living and city living.

        If you were to compare the two styles of living, they would be the same in the sense that you would have the same house only in different areas. Another comparison would be the view from your house. For example, you could have a view of Mount Blanca from a city lot as well as the same view from a country lot depending on the layout of your home. No matter whether you live in the country or city, you have the option of having family pets. For those who enjoy home grown vegetables gardening is an opportunity country and city folk can take part in. Although they are easily compared, city living and country living have many differences.

        Personally I would prefer the country lifestyle over the city because of the dissimilarities. The country offers cleaner air which contributes to your overall wellbeing. Having miles of space between neighbors aides privacy. For instance, you could walk around stark naked and not have to worry about any peeping toms looking through your windows. Instead of having a night out on the town, you could have a simple bonfire with no worries of neighbors protesting the noise. The country provides many entertainment opportunities such as riding four wheelers, hunting and fishing, or even a simple hike. If your personal tendencies lean towards city life, you would have different options at hand. City life allows your commute to work or the grocery store to be a lot shorter. Being in the city provides different forms of entertainment including concerts, bowling, movies, and shopping. It offers ample places to dine. Clearly there are many things to consider your place of residence.
