| Going to buy myself a home. Should I get a one bedroom downtown or go to the burbs and get something twice the size? This is strictly about living conditions. I work midtown so have to commute about same distance regardless where I live. |

At your age, you'd probably want something close to the clubs... |

except for Regent Park. Or the random sketchiness you see on the streets sometimes ;) |

you should probably factor in other things in your decision....
Transportation: Downtown - don't need a car, burbs - definitely need a car
Property Taxes: varies quite a bit from city to city
Convenience: where do you spend majority of your leisure hours?
Appreciation of your residence: Will the property appreciate better downtown, or in the burbs where you are looking
Length of stay: Are you planning on just a temporary move, or looking for long-term. Do you plan on starting a family some time soon?
Etc....there are tons of more factors that you should weigh in besides the Sq. Ft. of a place!

| I love living downtown. I love being able to walk out my door and everything is right there without getting in a car. I'll sacrifice the space for that - in a big space, at this age, you inevitably end up filling it with stuff you don't need anyways. |

well, when it comes down to resale, location will be worth more than space in the long run. Case in point — have you ever seen a condo in downtown go down in price over a 5 year period (unless it was bought brand new)?
But that's just my 2 cents. |
