Buying a House Downtown or in the Suburbs

　　Currently，the major dilemma which most people face when purchasing houses is to buy a house downtown or a house in the suburbs.

　　Those who decide to buy a house downtown have long been dreaming of living in a house of their own in the center of a city. They believe that only by living in a house downtown can they live a convenient life, as they can easily get to supermarkets, restaurants, hospitals and cinemas.

　　Other people, however, believe that it is not realistic and necessary for all people to buy a house downtown. It is true that it can be convenient when living downtown, but this is not to say that you will feel inconvenient when you live in the suburbs. With the process of urbanization, the difference will be smaller and smaller. Furthermore, you can buy a car with the money you save while buying the house. The best way is to keep balance between location, price and other factors.

　　No matter which choice a përson will finally make, he has to be extremely careful to look into his unique situation and consult the predecessors for their advice. He will make the right choice if he knows his goal in life and how to make decisions according to the goal. (213 words)
