A great location is one of the biggest draws to apartment living rather than buying a house. We spend about a third of our life at work, so why would you want to spend extra time getting to and from work? Choosing an apartment that is commuter friendly will make a massive difference in your quality of life, no matter where you live.
Cut Your Commuting Time
How much time can you cut off your commute to work if you didn’t have to drive to a train station or bus stop? How about if you didn’t have a connecting train or bus? Many times, apartments are conveniently located near public transit stops, so you don’t have to go too far from your front door to catch that bus or train. Even better, if you find an apartment close enough to work, you can even walk or bike to work, saving you tons of time waiting for and riding public transportation or stuck in traffic.
Save Money on Tickets or Gas
You’d be surprised at how much money you will save if you have to take just one less train or bus to work, and you’ll save even more money if you can cut out time in the car. While you can’t shave money off your rent or insurance, you can save money on your commute by choosing an apartment with a good location for you. Put simply, more miles equal more money spent on commuting.
More You Time
Not only are you going to save a good chunk of money by cutting down on your commute, but you will also save tons of time. What would you be able to get done with an extra hour in your day, every day? You could finish that book, use your apartment’s fitness center, go for a swim in the pool, catch up on chores, or even take a nap. By saving time on your commute, you get more time for yourself, which is invaluable! Choosing a commuter-friendly apartment is going to pay off in so many different ways, both financially and for your quality of life.
