I want it in the province, but somewhere near the city. The city houses are totally expensive. In the provinces, it's ridiculously low. SOoner or later, these areas will be expensive because the city is expanding. When that happens, at least it's a good buy... buying the house at a cheaper price while it's in the province, and the years after when the city expands, i can sell it at a very high price.

I have always lived in the city, it suited me while I was working and that was where I was born, but recently I have been thinking of movine out a little maybe to a small country town, something for me to think about in the future.

yes, sometimes living in the city is suffocating, you can give it a try.

I've always lived in a super small town, so I never really had many issues with things, fortunately. Do whatever works for you. Out of everyone, you're the only person who knows what is best for your situation!

Of course, having a house in the province would be great and having one in the city is also nice. I always wanted to have a house in a province considering that its free from much pollution as compared here in the city. There is no traffic, loud noises and other things that makes life in a city somewhat tiring and hard. But considering that I work in the city, then it is quite important to live here. But if given the chance, I would surely retire in a province where it is more peaceful and simple. So if you can have both then go for it.

Hi I also living and working in the city. But I like to have a house in the province with a big garden. We are planning to purchase an apartment in the city and later I think I could build a house in a province.

I prefer a house in the countryside where I could grow plants and animals. An ideal place would be at the foot of a hill and the soil must be fertile.

This is real wishful thinking for me,yes I would like to have two houses one in the province and another in the city.this way I will get the best of both world's.as of now I live in a hillstation. Which is very quiet,surrounded by greenery, hills and no pollution.When anyone comes here they rave and rant about the this lovely quiet life.I long to go to the city and see the latest movies go to the big malls and shop.I have read that Its good to dream.

I'd choose to settle in the province than in the city...when I retire I would be going back to nature..although I was born and raised in the city, still I appreciate nature so much.

I would love to have one in the province.Away from the fast paced life in the city.Far from the polluted air, populated and noisy surroundings.Where my kids can run about,enjoy nature,have fun at the beach or just plain river banks.A place where they can experience what life was before-very farm like.
