One of the biggest draws for me is what me and my friends jokingly call "the socialist service" I'm going to have. Water, Sewer, Electricity, Phone, Cable and Internet (up to 2gig!) all in one bill and managed by the same company. Oh and the bill is on average cheaper than even a single electricity bill from the nearby city my old place was in. Only downside is the internet is cable so not asymmetric.
