12 Reasons To Move To A Small Town

Living in a big city is overrated – ask anyone who’s moved to a small town. I moved all the way from New York City to the gorgeous countryside of Ontario, and have never been happier. Whether you want to slow down the pace and get rid of the bustle, or raise your kids in a better area, there are ton of benefits. Here’s why to downsize your living situation.

1. The small the population is, the better the sense of community is. In big cities, it’s easy to feel isolated, but in a town, your community will rally together especially in the face of a crisis. It’s like one big family!

2. Because light pollution the city is terrible, and stargazing at night is the best form of entertainment. Best of all, it’s free!

3. There’s nothing like fresh country air. As soon as you’ve experienced it, going back to the city seems impossibly stuffy and stinky – especially in the summertime. Fumes and smog really don’t compare to blossoms and country air.

4. A big downfall of living in the city is never being able to find parking, and the torture of waiting in traffic for what seems like infinity. Small towns don’t really face this issue, and your grocery store will always have plenty of parking. Goodbye, road rage!
