I did the opposite, grew up rural, moved to the city. I highly recommend the suburbs/exurbs near a major metro. You need enough land you don't have to hear your neighbors after dark, but close enough to the city you can get an Uber to the airport. I'd love to have some rural land and a house, but I wouldn't live their year-round and give up gigabit Internet and decent restaurants.
- lampshades 4y agoI did the same, rural to city to suburbs. Suburbs near a major metro is a great option. I have everything I want near me and a house with a yard. I wouldn't mind going somewhere much much smaller and more rural if I didn't have kids. But, I don't want to send them to rural schools and I don't want them to grow up somewhere without opportunity. Selfishly, I want them to grow up somewhere that will give them a reason to stay when they get older, so that they stay nearby.
