Loading... City life or the suburbs? Which one would you prefer and why?

Suburbs I have come to enjoy as I raise my kids. I love the fast pace of the city life myself, but after a while the trees and birds and bees begin to call my name and I gotta go to where nature lives anyway. Suburbs are nice because homes with friends for the children to visit are closer. I've grown weary of apartment living. Have a house now. Not saying you can't in the city or that suburb living isn't apartments. Probably the best outcome I am trying to come up with is just on the outskirts of city living. For me, small cities I wouldn't mind going back to for how close everything is, much better job resources, that's for sure.

My preference is neither! I would prefer country all the way, Pagan that I am and nature based. However, country does not pay the bills, lol.

I live in the suburbs, and its okay, I have a variety of amenities within easy walking distance, such as Shops, Doctors, Dentist and Chemist. I'm only a couple of miles from the countryside, which I visit for my regular nature 'fix'. I tend to avoid cities, due to their size, noise and crowds. Given the choice, I would definitely chose to live in the countryside, but within easy driving distance of a small town, so I could enjoy the best of both worlds.

I grew up in the city, went to the burbs, went to a a remote area and back to urban living. I love urban. I like stores within walking distance.

City life. I love the constant movement and endless things to do, but I also escape from time to time to go rock climbing, skiing, etc. I enjoy the solitude of the outdoors. My feelings on the suburbs however are similar to this:

Not trying to offend anyone, just adding a bit of humor :)

Suburbs. I can't stand living in the city, only visiting the city. But I love living in the suburbs.

I recently was reading over the questions other members had and came across one that I thought would be enjoyable to write about and that was: Where would you prefer to live - in the city or suburbs and why? Personally, I have lived in the suburbs... keep reading →

I have lived in both I think they both have there pros and cons but pearsonaly I have become more custom to country living that may change later

I enjoy living in the suburbs of a mid size town, yet close enough to the downtown area to enjoy the amenities. Life in the big city is great for careers, but to fast moving to enjoy the finer things.
