Urban living has a variety of benefits; read on to find out if it’s right for you

It’s the time of year when many couples are going through a time-honored rite of passage and becoming empty-nesters. For many, this is the time to ditch the sprawling suburban home and move into chic, upscale downtown digs. Urban living has a variety of benefits; read on to find out if it’s right for you.

Say goodbye to yard work in summer and shoveling snow in winter.

Time to travel? Downtown, high-rise living offers the ability to “lock and go.” Details such as mail delivery, packages and more can all be handled by building staff in your absence.

With features that might include scan-entry into parking and elevators, cameras and security personnel, downtown living is a secure choice.

The downtown lifestyle offers convenience; restaurants, shops, museums, and other amenities of the urban life are often within walking distance. It’s a whole new way of life.

Building amenities include pools, sauna and hot tubs, fitness facilities and more.
