Country Life or City Life

United States

I was born and raised in the country, I wouldn't trade it for the world, I love it because it is very peaceful, less traffic, and I think the country is a good place to raise kids. Which would you choose Country or City, why?

I am a city girl. I love the people, the noise, the hustle and bustle of the city. I do enjoy the peace of the country, but i am a New Yorker and I really love this city. Moving to the country is not something i have ever considered

Thats cool, like you said about never considering moving to the country, I haven't considered it about the city. i guess it is all about where you grew up.

i prefer city life, as i am used to the city life. i could never stay back and enjoy a country life.. i feel i will be bored with the "slowness" of it... hehe i think there will be no problem with my future children living in the city. i am raised in the city, and i have to give credit to my mom for doing a good job hehe... i might as well get some pointers and how it turns out for us.

I cant live in the country side in the philippines because I am used to the fast pace of the city.In the province, there was no mall, not everything I need is available..there are no radio signals in some parts of the countryside so I cant listen to the radio just what happened to me in mindoro

i'd prefer country living than city living.. I love the ambiance, the food the people, the culture and the fresh air that comes with the simplicity of country living. city living is far more expensive talking about food, rent, transportation and traffic is heavy.. darn..

I was a country girl for most of my life. When my parents divorced I had to move to town. I hated it. Then my mom married a man that moved me from city to city and town to town. I really hated it. Noisy, dirty and sometimes scary. I finally moved back into an area that was kind of country but still close to town. My kids are being raised here. I loved it at first but now it is slowly turning into a suburb type area. Traffic has really gotten bad out here people have flocked to this area and it is noisy and crime has picked up out here. I had a gas can stolen from my front deck one night. We had a drunk plow into a tree in our yard one night. We went to Pensacola beach last year and that is where I have decided to go once my kids are grown. I want my kids to have a stable school life and then I am out of here. The people I met there were friendly, I have a deep love of the ocean and beaches, and if I am going to live in a town like area I might as well live in a town that has something to do.

Hey, I guess if it was like that where I live, I probably would want to move too. Where I live there is absolutely no crime, I have a house across the road from me, one down the road, all the other neighbors are pretty far from me.Take care.
