I moved to suburbs in a mountain state. In a few years may move to a rural area if gigabit is available.
Most people have ZERO idea what this country is, how vast and unpopulated it is. You can have a mountain to yourself in many areas. The west is essentially empty. You can have 360 mountain views in a beautiful agricultural valley. You can live on a uninhabited part of a lake or river. You can live in an area that looks like a national park. Just need stable power, water, and internet which is/will be easy with solar and sat internet.
- ianai 6y agoShh we don’t want more people out here! But seriously, has me wondering how sat net will change the RE market once people can move away and stay connected.
- jez 6y agoWhat do you do for groceries / food? Are there any restaurants near by? Any problems with online deliveries?
- one2know 6y agoI don't live rural yet, but I would just drive to the grocery. I would say most people living rural live close to a highway. If it is interstate you will be going 85 MPH, so even if the nearest grocery is 50 miles away it is 30 minutes away. I would probably buy $200-300 of groceries at a time. Rural places are usually going to have a large freezer, backup generator, fuel supply. Rural areas are probably not going to have many restaurants, but if you are in a resort/vacation area such as around a national park like Yellowstone there are going to be more restaurants. People I have known had no problem with online deliveries if they are within a certain range of a town, say 10 miles. I will probably deliver to an Amazon locker or UPS store and pick whatever it is up there.
