We all dream of living in the suburbs – the fantasy of a picket fence house complete with a garden and probably a dog. Suburban lifestyle has become a dream for many because of the security and wholesomeness that it exudes. Who wouldn’t want to live in a secured house with the ones that you love and cherish?
But like anything else in this world, suburban living is also evolving. It evolved towards a certain lifestyle that fits the new generation. Real estate aficionados everywhere are looking forward to the rise of ‘surban,’ the more exciting sister of the suburban lifestyle.
The term surban is a mixture of two words: suburban and urban. The combination of these two is the main premise of this development. Surban developments promise to keep the cozy and safe persona of the suburban lifestyle, topped off with the excitement of urban cities. Existing suburban communities are now adding certain urban amenities that will be able to cater to their work and play lives. Here’s how surban is shaping real estate this 2017.
One stop shop appeal
We all want the security that the suburban lifestyle brings. However, aiming this kind of lifestyle means that you have to compromise your work and job. With the incorporation of industries into communities that are deemed as suburban, homebuyers no longer have to choose between what they need and what they want. It’s all in that surban community that they choose.
Millennial power
The millennials are getting older and bigger. They dominate the majority of home buyers. What millennials want is the chill vibe of probinsya life but they also want to be in the middle of commerce and entertainment. This is the reason why surban developments are meant for them. They can live like they are still in the comforts of their province life but they can also enjoy the city life that they are craving for.
More inclusive
It is also said that the surban lifestyle is more inclusive, not exclusive. We often put mixed developments under the category of being posh. But surban developments are more accepting with anyone who dares to live inside their communities. Yuppies are not the only ones who are welcome. Teachers, firefighters, anyone who wants to live in serenity are welcome.
Modern utopia
The surban promise is simply the utopia that every hardworking homebuyer would want. It’s the answer to the stressful traffic, to the desensitizing corporate world. It’s living without the stress and all the fun.
