I grew up in a suburb in south Los Angeles County not far from the ocean. I always loved going out and exploring nature, though.
The suburb I grew up in was really nice and there were lots nearby attractions in the Los Angeles area. But I would never want to live in an actual urban environment.
My wife and I moved to northern California 24 years ago and bought 30 acres of beautiful oak grassland with an amazing view. We built a house with a grid-tied solar voltaic system. We have our own well. No fluoride, chlorine or chemicals in our water. We put in a small orchard and grow quite a few veggies and herbs.
It's a very safe, quiet, peaceful rural area with vineyards, farms, cattle, sheep and horse ranches all around.
There are lakes, rivers and wetlands.
Essential goods and services are less than 10 minutes away and cities are 20-25 minutes away. We are only an hour away from major cities.
So, in answer to your question, I much prefer the country. I love it here. But I wouldn't want to be isolated from civilization. And I enjoy visiting city attractions from time to time.
The last picture is what I go for, although your first is very tempting.
When I moved from my home country, I decided to settle on the Mediterranean coast. The view in picture number four is what I see on a clear night from my terrace. Lakes and woods can be found within half an hour distance by car.
I leave big cities for short trips or shopping. They can be a bit overwhelming at times.
I grew up in cities, and I'm over them now. There is no crime where we live, the people are extremely friendly, and life is wonderful. We have never locked a door or window.
It is far better than growing up in American cities and worrying about being murdered by some crackhead.
I'm 100 % country girl and don't even like going to any town that's big enuff to have a walmart.
I'm Jason, your Travel Buddy 🧳 I’m a traveler who loves seeing new places, meeting people, and trying local food in simple, down-to-earth ways 🌍
I’m both a city and country person. I love big cities for culture, nightlife, museums, and fast energy. I love the countryside for quiet, nature, hiking, and slower mornings.
When I travel, I always consider dangers: crime areas, scams, wildlife, weather, health risks, and local laws. I read recent info, talk to locals, avoid risky zones at night, and keep copies of documents.
For me: enjoy fully, but stay alert and prepared 🚆🌄🏙️

I'm a combination of both, call me a suburban person. I like the city but it's too busy to be there all the time. And country is also nice... to visit... but perhaps too calm and peaceful. I live in the suburbs, where I get a mix of city and country, and can easily go to either one
I was born in the capital city of Georgia and the biggest city of Caucasus. I spent the biggest part of my adult life in Shanghai.
I am a city girl.
But when I think of “Home” my first memory goes to my summer village with my grandparents, in the countryside.
And I thought property there in that village so that someday when the city life gets exhausting, I can go back home.

Live in the woods and I wouldn't have it any other way
Always hated the big city. People are kinder, life is slower (as it was meant to be lived in my opinion), there's more beautiful scenery, and generally better air quality in the country. Cities are usually crowded, people are desensitized and cold towards others, the only views you get are of buildings and artificial crap, etc.
It's always been my dream to live off-grid and get away from society.
I have always been a city girl until I moved to East Tennessee for 13 years.
So now I am both y'all ! 🤣
Both I was rise in the city as a child and moved to the county as an adult. the country as more wildlife such as snacks, mountain loins etc. while the city has more traffic and people to be wary of. the country life you need to have a car cause there no public transportation.
Your question made me hear, the John Denver song "Thank god, I'm a country boy" play in my head. Its about to play there on loop all day, I Appreciate that.
I’m in between. The “city” I grew up around is not large. The surrounding areas are a mix of quiet-ish suburbs and rural areas.
I spent my first 9 years in a rural area and them moved to the suburbs. I have lived in the suburbs since that time, but I am comfortable getting away from the city.
I can be both, but I'm more of a suburb person, or small town person :D
Small town/country guy.
I do not at all like big cities they're fun to visit for a day but I would never ever want to live in one that would be hell.
I love the outdoors but I also enjoy the convience city life provides.
A mixture of both.
I like having the city within a few hours for the rare occasion there’s an event I want to see, but otherwise total country boy. Lived in both and couldn’t take the city life anymore
I like to be a country girl once in a while but I surely do love living in the city. But my city isn't that big so maybe I'm a town girl?
could I live in both places, yes...
but I'm more in the middle... a suburban person
I like smaller cities ~ 1 million. Good services, but still easy to get around. Small enough that you randomly run into people you know.
I live in a city. Get me outta here any time.
I’m built for a wildlife I’m athletic. I can handle the mountains. I’ve been to survival camps way up in the high mountains but I’m also a city slicker so I would say both
A little bit country but mostly rock & roll.
I don't know somewhere between the 2. City for liveliness and activity, country for quiet fresh air
suburban. but the big cities are going to heck in a hand basket, so I'm getting more rural all the time.
I enjoy the suburb close enough to a city but not overcrowded,
I am called "Cowboy," but I'm a boulevard buckaroo!!!
I am a man of the sea.
I can be both.
Country to the core
