I agree 100% with Chitown64. I have lived in both cities and suburbs. Suburbs suck, plain and simple.

AnnaS, if you're going to move to the suburbs, whatever you do, DON'T BUY, rent first. If you find out it sucks big time, you can move out pretty easily. I paid more in rent than I would have if I bought when I moved to a suburb, but thank goodness, or I would probably still be stuck there.
