Choosing the location of the house where we decide to live is never something to be learned lightly. The place we choose must meet our needs, our personality, our lifestyle, etc.
Contrary to popular belief, there are no good or bad places to live in. It all depends on your needs and your personality. In case you have seriously met these basic criteria, it will be easier for you to choose between a villa in the city and a villa in the country.
But in this article, we will only focus on the advantages of having villa in the city because we have already written an article on the advantages of having a villa in countryside. After reading our two texts, you will be able to make an informed choice about the location that suits you best. Our agency can help you by advising you and assisting you in getting your dream villa.
Without further ado, here are the advantages of having a villa in town.
1- Not isolated
Not everyone who decides to buy or live in a villa is a retiree who is desperate to retire from active life. By having your villa in the city, this aspect of your social life is assured.
Unlike villas in the countryside, those in the city are often grouped in a specific area or neighborhood. Thanks to this grouping of villas, it is possible to establish neighborly relationships, to socialize, to meet new people.
2- Plenty of activities available
After enjoying the comforts of your villa, you can easily find and do multitudes of activities not far from your home. If you like to discover, go out at night, see movies at the cinema, have a few drinks, go shopping in the center, go to the theater, etc., you will be served. In urban areas, there is no lack of leisure activities, whether you are alone or with friends or family.
And if you have decided late to go to a disco, you can even go on foot. Because in the city, everything is close to you.
3- Cosmopolitan gastronomy
Of course, there are restaurants in the countryside, but they are often limited in terms of dishes. In every self-respecting city, there are multitudes of places that allow city dwellers to taste different gastronomic dishes from all over the world such as Thai, Italian, Sub-Saharan, French, Chinese, etc. By buying your villa in the city, you will be able to travel through these dishes while staying close to home.
4 – Much more practical
In the city, you will benefit from a multitude of infrastructures that are very useful for your daily life, which is lacking in the countryside. Don’t forget that you don’t just visit your villa. You live there and when you live seriously, there are certain things you can’t do without: supermarkets for food, hospitals in case of emergencies, pharmacies, administrative buildings to regularize certain cases, lawyers, etc.
All these services are concentrated in the city to make life easier for those who live in the center. There is no need to travel dozens of kilometers to find a doctor or pick up documents at the town hall, for example.
5- Various transportation options
If you decide to buy your villa in the country, you need a reliable and constant means of transportation. Otherwise, you will be limited in your displacement especially in case of emergency.
This is not the case if you are located in the city because there are multiple means of transportation. It is up to you to choose what suits you, according to your needs. There are cabs, buses, large cabs and private cars that can take you anywhere in the center.
6- Economical
For those who are still working, living in the city saves you time and money. You can walk to your workplace because the majority of company locations and official buildings are still in the city center.
You won’t have to pay for transportation. By working close to your villa, you will also have more time for yourself. In addition, whether you have a car or take public transportation, the commute always takes time; not to mention the traffic.
7– Quality schools
For those who have children, living in urban areas offers you a multitude of choices regarding schools. As in every city in the world, the best schools are always in the city.
Therefore, your children will benefit from the proximity of quality schools, which will also reduce the risk of being late for class.
8- Villa in town, less complicated
As in every country, there are specific laws that govern real estate. In the case of Morocco, it is not possible for foreigners to buy villas in the countryside without presenting an Attestation of Non-Agricultural Vocation (ANAV) to the competent authorities. The certificate is related to the land rather than the real estate project. The law prohibits foreigners from purchasing agricultural land.
The good news is that this provision does not apply to villas and apartments in urban areas. In the city, everyone has the same right and on the same footing: foreigners or locals.
But if you want to have your villa in the rural area, here in Morocco, VILLA MASTER can accompany you in all administrative steps until you enter your villa. Experience and knowledge have been acquired during years of working in the field of real estate in Morocco.
