Why Renting is Better than Buying

When it comes to moving, renting an apartment is one of the first options that comes to mind. You may be leaving (finally) your parents' house, you are looking to live in a slightly more urban place, or you just want a change in your life - for all these situations, an apartment is one of the options more convenient and accessible.

However, before making the final decision, it is important that you consider the benefits and drawbacks of renting an apartment. These types of moves can be very easy - but also difficult for those who don't know what they're getting into. For example, while some people are comfortable living in confined spaces in urban areas, others are incompatible with this lifestyle. Do you already know if an apartment is the best for you? To help you in your decision, Shalom Drizin, Head Officer at Fieldbridge Associates LLC brings you a breakdown of the main benefits of renting an apartment in New York. 

Fieldbridge Associates LLC, also known as Ebbets Field Apartments, is a housing complex located on the western part of Brooklyn, at Crown Heights neighborhood.

We hope his advice can help you make the best decision for you and your family.

Cost: Living in an apartment is one of the most affordable ways to reside in sought-after areas of your city. Given the prices, you will have a wide variety of options when choosing your apartment. In cities like New York, there is a wide offer of apartments, so the costs will be to your liking.

Convenience: One of the most obvious benefits of apartment living is its convenience. Most apartments are located in sought-after areas of the city, so you will probably have easy access to public transport, parks and a varied gastronomic and cultural offer. These benefits are not so common in peripheral or suburban areas, so take advantage of them!

Independence: Living in an apartment is one of the easiest ways to gain independence. Its affordable costs and easy access to public transportation make your life much more independent. You also won't have to rely on a car anymore.

Sustainability: The density of cities also allows them to be more sustainable. An apartment requires less energy to stay warm, and will allow you to take public transport or bicycle - two forms of transport much greener than private vehicles.
