Quality of life depends on many factors, one of which is certainly the part of the city you live in, whether it's the center or the outskirts. Whether you will choose the city center or the outskirts depends on your priorities, needs, and lifestyle. Although the city center sounds more appealing at first, during the Covid-19 pandemic, those living in the more urbanized parts of the city were restricted much more than people living on the outskirts. The choice is individual, and both the center and the periphery have their advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages and disadvantages of living in the city center

In the city center, all important facilities are usually located, it is better connected to other parts of the city and has a much better infrastructure. The cities in Montenegro are not large and in most of them you can reach the desired location on foot. So the advantage of living in the city center is that you won't need a car, because most things can be done on foot without wasting too much time. What is seen as the lack of life in the center is the high exposure to noise, higher living costs, crowds, etc.

Advantages and disadvantages of living in the suburubs

On the other hand, when it comes to the outskirts, life here is quieter, there is better contact with nature, greater freedom, and taxes and the general cost of living are lower. Also, the prices per square meter of real estate in Montenegro located on the outskirts are much more favorable compared to the city center, especially when it comes to houses and plots. The disadvantages are the distance from institutions that people often need, such as markets, hospitals, schools, and banks. In addition, the traffic connection is weaker, and the roads are usually worse.

As we said at the beginning, whether you rent or buy real estate in Montenegro, the choice depends on your priorities. Your needs are different in younger and more mature years, so you should choose a place to live accordingly. Of course, if we take into account that you have a sufficient budget that gives you the opportunity to choose. Try to make your life easier, do not let yourself be carried away by a “seemingly” lower price, if it means that you will depend on buses, taxis or other types of transport every day. Make a comparison of the time and money spent, assess what is more valuable to you, especially if you have a family and small children. Weigh the advantages and disadvantages of both options and act accordingly.
