Live-Work Neighborhood

Does the word ‘commuting’ ring a bell in your life? Perhaps it does if you have repeatedly traveled between home and your office, or even to any location when not work-related, spending hours in a car, day after day; in fact, most Americans claim is “not too bad”…..Is it? For some commuters out there willing to put up with what I personally describe as a stressful daily routine, this particular lifestyle has become quite difficult over time, and merely because they have their ‘hands tied’ to a company…their hopes seem slim.

Nevertheless, office workers are constantly demanding for a better work-life balance that can give them opportunity to decrease stress and may provide them a healthy environment, as going back and forth many times may cause physical and mental health deterioration. But perhaps if you are a freelancer or about to become one and you seriously have had enough of driving down to your office day in and day out, at a critical time (when traffic is at its finest) I have the solution you might be looking for. If you keep reading this you will be able to discover a cost-effective, wonderful workplace alternative which, besides providing you closeness, can be a health investment too.

Before getting any deeper into the subject, it is clear as day that when you work for yourself, the matter of

– if you don’t get your work done, you will not earn any money –

might bring some questionings in your life when you found yourself searching for the ideal workspace, where you may be able to take the leap from a closed setting, to a more collaborative environment, and develop greater business plans without lousy distractions.

Self-employed workers and many entrepreneurs in the US are finding inspiration and a sense of community from workplaces that can build the so-called ‘live-work experience”. This alternative, which brings to you the advantage of an open space right where you live since it is located in a residential zone, also provides common amenities in order for you to avoid making long-distance trips back home at a specific time, or getting into situations that force you to leave your working place, instead, you have more flexibility and control over how, when, where and if you work. Not bad huh? Working close to home own great perks; get the picture, if your office is located close to your home, the lost time and frustration should be minimal.

This and some other effective aspects have turned into crucial reasons for freelancers, entrepreneurs and even B2C companies such as real estate agencies, to not hesitate switching to a collaborative space near where they live.
