With a child I'd choose suburb. If we were child-free then city.

A walkable suburb that's VERY close to a big city. Like subway/T close, not commuter rail, with lots to walk to still.
Or city but with lots of money for a big home with a yard and potentially private schools. Can I have that?

I voted city but specifically a small city. I live in a small city, and I love it.

I voted city but really I want to live in a small city, not NYC where I am now. I want to be somewhere that's , still walkable but with a house/yard. I grew up in a college town like that!

I would love to live in a more chill, yet walkable city with natural beauty like Portland

Not sure! My neighborhood now is half suburban/half rural. I love passing farms to get anywhere. So peaceful! However, I used to live in a town where everything I could possibly want was a mile walk away or closer. I miss that. I wish I could live in a little town, in a surbuban housing plan, surrounded by farms. I want it all!
ETA: Or I would just live full time in an RV travelling the country, but I am not cut out to homeschool C.

City! We may have to move to California and I am DREADING living in the 'burbs.

If I had mad dough I would live in NYC given I can afford the space! Then I'd have a beach house out east, and cabin up north

Rural. Then I could hopefully have a farm and we could raise our own food.

Rural. I can't imagine city or suburb living, our neighbors are too close as it is. We need a couple acres for horses (for our horse obsessed daughters and myself), steers (beef), pigs (pork), chicken (eggs), and enough room for a shop and room to ride quads (Husband, and kids!).

@snowjewelz: I like how you think! Haha!
I would love to have a house in the city. Lots of space and walkable to everything!

City! I grew up in a small town and can't go back to that lifestyle!

I voted other ... I love living in a small town and wouldn't want to live anywhere else!

Always lived in the suburbs so that's what I chose. However, I love our farm, but it's far from a major city which makes things a bit complicated when it comes to going to an Asian store or wanting ethnic food.

I'd like to be in the country, 10-15 minutes from a decent sized town. That's a big part of our 10 year plan.

In my dream world, I live in a Chicago suburb but Chicago is much closer to NYC.
kiwi / 659 posts
We just moved to Chicago and we're loving it. But ideally I'd say a suburb that is walkable/ has good restaurants and stuff to do, that's close to a city. That's where we'll probably end up eventually.

I grew up in the burbs, but I love love love small-city living! I really enjoyed living in Cambridge, MA and Providence, RI. Some of the best years of my life!

i love big exciting cities, so i am tempted to pick that, but i would also want a big house and yard on a quiet street. so perhaps a suburb that you can walk to the city in 10 minutes would be nice!

Stick me in the middle of the country with corn fields surrounding me and overlooking land and I'm a happy girl. However, there has to be a town/city with a target/grocery store/ect. within 20 minutes

I would love a city condo with a communal playground. I hate yardwork with a passion, I'd rather be able to walk to stuff, etc.

@Ms. RV: This is exactly where we live and I love it. A little town surrounded by farms - I'm in a subdivision with a corn field in my backyard ... I'd go more rural for my next move but I'm happy with this compromise for now. I grew up in a big city and I will never go back.

City...there's an energy and sense of excitement when I'm out walking among people vs driving to get just to the basic services (groceries, dry cleaning).

@Foodnerd81: this is our current situation, it's pretty good, but I'd rather be in the city.
@lilyann: this!

We live rural on the outskirts of a small city (and with a few other small cities within 30 miles) and it's a great compromise.

Suburbs! Less traffic and craziness than the city (and more space) but still close enough to the city to take advantage of everything that it has to offer.
