Like any other location, there are some disadvantages of living near the city that we are going to list down and discuss further in this blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noise Pollution <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe noise level in the surrounding of the downtown area is normally higher than in the suburbs. The densely populated metropolitan areas have more traffic with honking horns of the fast and slow-moving vehicles, as well as trains and nearby airports with loud planes flying in and out, contributing to the noise pollution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Less Parking Space<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"Lack](\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image-3122019-b-1024x640.jpg\")
Finding a parking space in the city centre is a big hassle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe parking situation in the city centre is a huge hassle faced by everyone including the residents, commuters and shoppers. Finding a parking space for your vehicle is not a guarantee in big cities. Even if you are lucky enough to find one, then there are chances that it might be blocks away from your destination and you may have to cover all this distance on foot. Due to an acute shortage of parking space in the urban centre, you may also be to park your vehicle in most cases. In this regard, Saddar Town in Karachi<\/a> is a noteworthy example that usually remains jam-packed throughout the day and finding a vehicle parking space is a challenge in itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\nLess Privacy <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIn most cases, when someone moves from the suburbs to the urban centre, it involves downsizing of the living space. Lack of availability of land to construct independent homes and sky-high property value are the two reasons that limit the homebuyers to the choice of apartment living. Privacy always remains one of the biggest concerns of people living in an apartment building with their neighbours on the other side of the wall.
