Adopting a minimalist lifestyle isn’t just a decor trend anymore, but a great solution to living a financially healthy life while also embracing sustainability. 

If you decide to become an urban minimalist, you should know some cities are better equipped than others to support your resolution! In fact, among the 150 largest US cities, Atlanta comes in 5^th and stands out as the Southern capital of minimalism.

Here's why Atlanta is one of the best cities for embracing urban minimalism according to our latest data-driven report from RentCafe’s self storage division:

• With roughly 40% of employees working from home, newcomers shouldn’t have major difficulties finding a job that allows them to cut out the need for office clothing and accessories. Additionally, the city’s infrastructure allows residents to reduce the consumption of resources and engage in sustainable transportation practices. Approx. 52% of Atlanta’s population makes do without a car for daily work commutes.

• With 60% of the local housing inventory counting a maximum of two bedrooms, finding a cozy home shouldn’t be a problem. But more than that, living in a small home also means there’s less room for unnecessary items – hence stuff can quite easily clutter Atlantans’ homes.

• Saving on bills is also rather easy, with Atlanta having the sixth-cheapest average electricity bills among all the cities in the ranking.
