My husband dreamed of city life, so we tried living in a high-rise downtown for one year. The perks made us decide to stay and leave the suburbs.
A couple from Minnesota swapped their suburban life for a year of city living in a high-rise condo downtown. Stacy Brooks and her husband initially doubted their decision, but they soon discovered the perks of urban living. They now see the appeal of walking to nearby amenities, such as grocery stores and a farmers market.
