1. Public Transportation & Walkability
Access can be considered the main perk of living in an urban center. While cost of parking can be expensive in the city, many urban dwellers ditch the cars and high gas, insurance and maintenance prices for traveling by foot, bike or public transit. Most large cities boast bus or train systems that run regularly and offer affordable rates that allow residents the opportunity to be mobile. This can make travelling from one location to another much more convenient and cost-effective.
