Suburban, not far from City, convenient to most shopping and quieter.

Rural. I do have to drive a half hour to get to the city, but only a 10 minute drive to get to a small town, and the big pay off is it's quiet, and 20 minute drive and I'm in the mountains which is great because I love to camp. Yea, and date Sasquach. Only on weekends. and only if he shaves |

When I lived in Daytona Beach, I lived in an apartment right on the beach. I never thought I would love it so much because I had always lived within ten minutes of the beach (I grew up in Pensacola, FL). But man, having the Atlantic Ocean to wake up to every morning changed all that. My dream is to have a condo on the beach so that I can wake up every morning to that. I wasn't secluded as there were always people to talk to. And it was close to all the hot spots on the beach. I like all three choices though. Each has its' own advantages and I have lived in all three settings. Most of my family lives in the country and while I do enjoy it, I also miss the city life. The Burbs can be crazy though. You never know what kind of sicko will move in next door to ya. But then again, the Burbs do seem to have those unhappy HOT housewives who wanna have an affair. |

Rural. I don't like the city, crowds and noise. I would rather drive to the places I want to visit, but live where I can enjoy my peace.

The only place I really don't mind not having much around is at the beach. Otherwise, I enjoy walking out my door and having lots of choices of things near by to do and places to go. |

I´ve only lived in the city so I don´t have a way to make a comparition with the other options; cause of my career it´s better to live here and I like that everything it´s on walking distance.

Prefer the edge of the city, everything on the doorstep so to speak with less noise than the inner city, and people are friendly. I can be on the coast in 30 minutes, or in the Lake District national park a very beautiful part of England's countryside within an hours drive. The two larger cities of Manchester and Liverpool are also reachable within an hours drive, and Manchester International Airport as a gateway to the world can be reached in an hour by train. I very much liike where I live.

I'm just outside the suburbs but not way out in the rural..lol I live between two small historic towns and have just about all the necessities here (except the dry cleaners closed last yr).. I'm 15 minutes from an airport and big city (Canton), east is a nice lake area and if I go south 10-15 min I'm in a shopping area and 2 smaller cities.. It's pretty quiet here except for traffic in summer (tourist..... and I have a pool right out my front door.. Guess I have the best of both worlds...

I like living close to where I work because I do not like having a long commute more than 10-15 minutes. In a dream world where money was no object I'd live in a remote area. near the coast.

Ideal for me would be an uncharted, uninhabited island in the south pacific with wild life and fresh water. What sort of 'wild life'? The type you have in a hot tub with those lovely Tahitian native girls and sip your coconut rum from the local coconuts all without needing to speak French... Lots of empty islands around Tahiti. Urban, suburban or rural...I've lived in all and they all have serious draw-backs. I love the urban areas because of the proximity of Jazz clubs, coffee-houses, little European delis, the cityscapes of architectures and all the ethnic neighborhoods and foods in their restaurants, but so many cities one has to basically live like they do in Jo'berg, South Africa in a heavily fortified fortress complete with razor wire, motion detectors and remote controlled mini-guns plus all sorts of other weapons to fight the invading hordes at any given moment. You and your home is under siege come sundown if not 24-7. That is not living; reminds me of a Charleston Heston movie something like Soylent Green and Last Man On Earth. No thanks. Subs? Right, just like in the movies. The stereotypes are all pretty accurate from my experiences. I sure as hell don't wish to live down the street from Mr. and Miss Bubba and their 6 retarded, over fed children selling dope on the school playground along with all the stuff they steal from all their neighbors...reminds me of a horror version of a Cheech and Chong movie. That leaves rural; well, if you have wheels and can basically bullet-proof it; set motion detectors around your property along with booby-traps and razor wire your perimeter; have some bouncing Betty anti-personnel mines around; lots of trip wires and fully automatic weapons 'just-case', hey, you can still have a pool, and sundeck and enjoy your sun and sumptuous Bar-B-Q's, as long as you live in some South American country such as Brazil, Argentina or Chile or Uruguay; Paraguay is too much into the dope trade to fully relax in and now has US special Forces based there...supposedly to help stop the drug trade that was put there by the Israelis and CIA agents back in the early 70's...of course they are;not good. I'd much prefer the usual 2 or 3 military coups once every 2 or 3 years anyday, been there and done that...they can be fun. People down there have a great sense of humour on that topic. Their attitude is to stay out of the way and have a siesta. |

Rural, definitely. Six miles to a small town from here. After a while you learn how to dodge the pot holes. No city ordinances to contend with. Nature right out your back door. Natural wildlife is wonderful. Nothing like well water without the impurities of civilization. Taxes are less and if they would fix the road that would mean more traffic.

Rural for sure. I like the peace and quiet, nature and people are so much better to deal with when their not all squeezed in together.The drive to work sucks but as soon as you hit the city you can tell the stress difference.

Where do you prefer living and what do you like about it? I prefer any place that is outside of a jail/prison cell. That is why I am hiding from ...err... Never mind. |

i like small towns where everyone knows everyone...it just feels like home when you can walk into into any store and they know you by name or at least recognize enough to speak i love visiting places but home will always be somewhere small
