Which lifestyle do you prefer more? An urban, suburban or country lifestyle? Explain why.?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Be descritive and actually think about it.

I prefer the suburban lifestyle because it is a cross between timid country life and bustling city life.
I prefer the suburban life because it is not too chaotic, but not too timid.

Urban life
I was brought up on a farm and I love the countryside but the thing with urban life is that five minutes walk from your door you can find all kinds of things to do. Good food of every variety, all kinds of entertainment, and a huge host of freinds wherever you look.

Still enjoy a walk in the country though.

What do you think about urban living lifestyle in a condominium by the mall?

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

I’m trying to convince my friend to live and acquire a place in a decent subdivision instead of a condominium, but she seems so hooked in having this condominium by the mall, which another friend is reselling…interested? email barbidar@gmail

She has to remember,that a condominium comes with fees above a mortgage! These usually cover lawn care,snow removal (if you live where it snows) and exterior maintenance. But the fees are usually high. We have found it much cheaper to pay the boy down the street to take care of the lawn and it gives him a summer job.

Phoenix/Scottsdale Lifestyle. How urban it is?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Hi,
We are considering to move Phoenix/Scottsdale are in the near future.
We (me,42 and my wife,32) live in midwest, next to Chicago area. We just want to learn more about the urban life in Phoenix/Scottsdale are. How lively is restaurant/bar scene? Are there a lot outdoor cafes/restaurants? How urban is the city culture? Is the downtown walking friendly or everything is widely separated so you need to drive to get from one point to another? Is the society cosmopolite or mostly homogeneous? We here live long, brutal winters but is the extreme heat over there bothersome for most people too? Thank you very much for your replies.

I have lived in many large cities and I am sure the ratio of restaurants and bars per person in the Phoenix metro area is by far greater than most. There is a plethora of options in cuisine, bars, and clubs. Most restauntants and bars are non smoking per a recent law and they offer patio seating ( weather permitting).

Downtown Scottsdale is mostly a tourist attraction, full of Southwestern art and shops, restaurants, clubs, 5 star resorts, spas and golf courses.

Downtown Phoenix is home to the baseball and basketball stadiums, museums,quaint little restaurants and historic homes. Do not walk this part of town at night, there are many homeless and strange looking individuals who call this home.

Weatherwise, it is pure paradise for a couple of months of the year however the rest of the year is hot. I have friends from Iowa & Ohio and it took them more than a couple of years to be acclimated. They almost never did anything outdoors for fear of skin cancer or dehydration.

The conveniences of a major city is a plus just be prepared to drive for 45 mins plus and sit in long traffic lines as the highways and streets are ALWAYS under construction.

I would recommend living in the outskirts of town such as Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe and driving into town to enjoy the night life. In short .. this is like a mini L.A… minus the ocean side properties.
