Choosing a neighborhood to live in is not the easiest thing to do, especially when you are moving to a new city. There are so many things to consider, from communication, to access to public transportation, safety, quality of the school district, affordability, or access to natural areas.
At least, these are some of the things that we considered when we bought our house. And while we’re not in our preferred neighborhood by far, there’s something that we’re very happy about: We have a forest.
On the other hand, my husband’s family bought a house in a neighborhood that has gotten increasingly unaffordable to buy anything there anymore. They have the safety and the easy access to public transportation, but the school district isn’t the best. And, sadly, they have no forest.
See? People tend to think that wealthier neighborhoods will always be the ones with the prettiest parks and green areas, but that’s not necessarily always the case. Nonetheless, what does science have to say about it? |
