I live in a rural area and love it. It's located outside of the city, making it so peaceful
That sounds peaceful, but don't think I could live to far from shopping and entertainment.
The U.S. defines rural as encompassing. All housing and population not in an urban area is rural. Technically I am rural but only 7 minutes away from urban
That is not too bad then. I do enjoy falling asleep to the sounds of the city though. I can't sleep if it's creepy quiet.
I grew up in the city of Baltimore. It took me a long time to get used to the low population and small settlements here
Yeah I bet that was an adjustment. I am used to falling asleep to honking horns, people yelling, and sirens.
Don't forget a gunshot every now and again. I used to just think of rural as farm areas but it's considered the forests too. Pretty much anything not in the city
