If you could live anywhere you wanted, where would you live? No idea if I've ever answered a question like this before. But honestly, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. This has been my home for the last 24 of my 28 years of life. It's the only place I know. And it's very convenient seeing we have the dollar tree, grocery store, gym, pizza place, dairy queen, minigolf/driving range/arcade right behind the house. As well as cvs, a candy store, dunkin donuts, mcdonalds, walgreens, ocean state job lot, another grocery store, our hair salon, and the post office all in walking distance. Though if I had to pick a house, and not a destination.. that's do able. As I've always wanted one of those perfectly square houses (in yellow or blue) with the white fenced porch, with one of those swinging seats on it, and a gazebo, wishing well, and pool in the backyard.

The house we bought in our early 30's was my favorite place to live. It was in a little rural French village, and we just loved living there. It was the best place in the entire world to raise our son.

@Courtlynn It was our dream home in so many ways. We had older neighbours across the road that would watch our every move, and that made us feel safe when our son was growing up and he was old enough that we could leave him home alone for a bit here and there.

@Juliaacv makes sense. It was good you had them to "help"

I am living where I wanted to live. Where my Mother's family is from. We moved to Oregon almost five years ago. I wanted a small town with low crime. We got that,. I wanted a smaller home. We got that. I wanted a move in ready house. No repairs . I got that. So I am happy. Who could ask for anything more.
