I mean... I live in a dense neighborhood in a city, and since you know everyone, the feeling of 'owning the place' still exists. We're lucky to be an older neighborhood (for the area), thus we have smaller roads, which are easy to navigate for kids. I think the main issue is (1) do you trust your neighbors, (2) are the streets safe (i.e., small), and (3) can you not be an anxious wreck.
