Do you prefer country or city living?

COUNTRY!!!!

[kondan]

Born and raised in the cities. Still love living here. Lots of diversity, food choices, shopping, and neighbor hangouts(block parties)! My kids especially, have many neighborhood friends to play with in the streets and playgrounds.

I live on a farm but it's inside the city limits. Zoned agriculture. Plenty of farm animals. Best of both worlds.

Depends on the size I guess. Where I live now, CDA it’s a great small city, largest metro I’ve lived in. Quiet, traffic is getting worse as everyone from the west coasts are moving here as they saw how much freedom we had during covid and unfortunately are voting the same way as they are trying to escape. I like having the music, comedy and other venues close by here and in Spokane. Now could I live in a true big metropolitan area such as Seattle, San Francisco etc, hell no.

No way I would live in a City.

Country!!

Main house in city 105 miles away from lake house.

I spend most my time at lake house.

36 acres on Barkley Lake

I can look at the pasture from front porch and watch deer and turkeys.

Back porch I can look at lake.

I hate leaving the property.

My neighbors have large parcels too.

One has 50 acres and the other has 20.

City for sure. I grew up here, went to city schools, enjoy the nightlife and entertainment in the city. I will always live within an easy drive of a fairly good sized city.

Prefer small towns, suburbs farther out, etc. Still enjoy being close to some things, but after 25 years in Sachse, it has grown too much.

Country!!!! The county I live in has 3000 people and the closest town has 1500 and both are too many people.

20 minutes to Hardware store, 18 minutes to grocery, 25 minutes to Walmart, one hour 15 minutes to VA Medical center

[Siebert Outdoors]

Pure country here. I rarely go to a big city.

[cwenbass]

Although I don't live in the country, live in suburbs about 25 miles from NYC and haven't had cause to be there for many years and I am in no hurry to return. Too many people for me.

[n2ratfishin]

Burbs, I tried the country once and got tired of driving an hour plus to enjoy a good meal, live music, the theatre etc...

[txbass1]

I enjoy living in a City but it would be better if I had 5 acres and pond on it.

I grew up in NE Texas in Tyler (good sized city) but there are lots of smaller communities all around it out in the country I always dreamed of ending up in. Moved to Houston metromess for work 23 years ago and hated every minute of all of the neighborhoods my new family lived in. Finally bought six acres (with a stocked pond) three years ago out in the country outside of Conroe, built a farmhouse and it is absolute Heaven. Only way I'm leaving there is in a body bag.

Country Small town living for my family in the same area since the early 1800s! Unfortunately in some areas small towns are being transformed from too many people moving into them and wanting to change things!

[PaRiverRat]

Have spent my entire life in the country and absolutely love it. Have zero desire to ever move to a town or city.

[tcesni]

20 miles to the nearest store is definitely country. I prefer something a bit closer, 5-10 miles. Call it "quasi-country".

[BillsFan]

Grew up in the city moved to the suburbs for 11 years and now live in the country for the last 20 years. I would never move back to the city or the suburbs. Back in the 70s and 80s it wasn't bad but forget about it nowadays.

[btlsranger]

Grew up in the country and have lived in the country most of my life. I can be to walmart in 10 minutes and that’s close enough for me. Next door neighbor is about .2 miles but nothing else for half mile. I could not stand living in a city or even a small town.

We live in a unique dynamic ... I can leave our house, go west over the bridge and be smack in the middle of Philadelphia in a little over 30 minutes OR head east and be at the Atlantic Ocean in a bit over an hour. We can go south towards Delaware and be at the longest in existence rodeo in the country (Cowtown) ... north of here will take you to the mountains. The political climate and taxes suck but we have access to pretty much everything.

There is so much to NJ most don't realize..... Lived in NW NJ and went to college in the Pines....... Both you would say is rather rural. Farms, mountains, vast woods.
