It's hard to explain. Probably a city that's still developing I guess? Lots of trees, grass, and people walking their dogs. Lots of convenience stores but my home is in a deserted area I guess.
I live in the suburbs, though I reaaaally miss living out in the sticks where it's actually dark and completely silent at night (minus bugs, birds and other nature sounds), the air smells fresh, you can see the stars at night, and your neighbors are far enough away that you don't have to care what they think. Also the home owners association is nonexistent in the country (god do I hate the those nosy idiots).
I've only ever lived in a big city, although for a couple years my dad lived near the beach in a casino town (for his work) so almost every summer when I was in high school I went to visit him there. I like living in the city but I need to escape to nature now and then.
Currently on one of the outer suburbs of the Gold Coast, Australia, but when we move in a weeks time we'll be a bit closer to the heart of the city with the tall buildings. My mum in law lives on the same street as this tower, which we had an opportunity to rent one of its apartments, but no way are we living that high lol.
I live in a small-ish town near the very large city where I grew up. I do prefer a city setting, but you can't beat the gorgeous landscapes around my house and it's literally like living inside of a postcard. I do think that one day I'll decide to make the move out to the West Coast (Los Angeles or Santa Barbara, most likely) but today just ain't the day.
I once lived in the metropolis, but I now live in a small town in the middle of a coniferous forest. Lot of historical stuff in my town. And there's a university in there. It's a pretty interesting town.
