There’s no question COVID caused us to re-evaluate the way we live. Staying 
at home gives us time to think about what we truly value, and how we can work toward making necessary changes to keep ourselves fulfilled. Whether for convenience and walkability, or for more space and settling down in beautiful Prescott, AZ, COVID has brought renters down two distinct paths: the Urbanite and the Suburbanite.
Sure, these distinctions existed long before 2020—but how has COVID changed the way you see these lifestyles? Are you an Urbanite, Suburbanite or a mix of both? Let’s break down the terms to decide:
The Urbanite values new opportunities, proximity to friends, and general lifestyle conveniences such as bike trails, restaurants, shops and nearby cultural locales. They’re likely to settle in downtown Prescott. Although continuing to work from home is appealing for some, independence and convenience are factors that play into choosing to live in the city. COVID could have either amplified or sparked these feelings, especially if you’re just entering the housing market. About 18% of Gen Z and Millenials migrated back to their parent’s homes for the past year.
The Suburbanite feels at home in the outskirts due to the familial and neighborly connections that are more conveniently built. A Suburbanite might feel isolated from family in the city or simply seek the open air and spacious homes in areas like Willainson. Maybe you just started a family, and crave the yards, parks, and suburban atmosphere for your growing brood. The suburbs provide room to grow figuratively, literally, and affordably.
Whether you’re seeking urban landscapes or yearning for the great outdoors, Prescott, AZ has a mix of everything. Contact me today and let’s get started making your homeownership dreams a reality!
