Lifestyle, commute time and school districts are factors in your decision.
One of the perks of renting is that you can try out a city or part of town without the commitment of buying a home.
Renting allows people to be flexible and transient until they are ready and able to buy. When searching for a rental location, begin with what is most important to you.
Consider your commute
If you are moving for a job or school, it’s likely important to be close to that location. Commuting is often a significant factor to consider, as it can save both time and money.
If you are driving, being close to a highway or near the office in general will help reduce the time spent behind the wheel. Rush hour times and traffic patterns can vary depending on your location within the city. Try mapping the commute online at different times.
