There is a middle ground; I live in a detached, standalone house in small east coast city, and I am within a 10 minute walk to a really good coffee shop/bakery, a pharmacy, small public library, a few restaurants, small boutique kitchenware and fabric/clothing shops, etc. I'm also a couple of blocks away from a bus stop that can take me to the train station.
The neighborhood is dense, but there are no high-rises, and I actually know my neighbors.

- verall 3y agoProbably in nearishby highrises or in detached homes with roommates, by either car or bus, because it's an east coast city so those things most likely exist. Contrast with Houston, say, where in most areas streets are not really crossable.
