It’s common for empty nesters to decide the suburbs are no longer for them. Without the need for education, transportation, and the general ease of suburban living, moving to a city or downsizing in general is often that next stage in life.

When choosing a place in the city, consider all aspects of your lifestyle to decide which tradeoffs work for you.
Do you want to be in a new high-rise building that offers community amenities to residents such as outdoor cooking areas, outdoor pools and fitness centers? Do you want to be in a historic townhouse with perhaps only 1 or 2 other neighbors in your building?

Consider all your lifestyle needs when choosing to downsize. It’s a difficult decision to decide on how much space you need and providing everyone the pleasure of sharing time and space while still maintaining privacy.
