I live where i want to live to and that is in the country, but i have lived in town before to and that was ok at the time because we lived in the country as a kid growing up. But the country is the best.:licking:
I haven't heard the word "Village" in eons.
Back home, (also New York) my home town wasn't large enough to be a village, it was a "Hamlet".
I suppose that hamlet, village and town are all throw-backs from when New Yorkers were British.
My Hamlet was founded in 1653.

I don't fit any of those. I'm in between two towns in an unincorporated section of the county, but am in a neighborhood on approximately 2/3 of an acre with about 1/3 of an acre being yard. I'd prefer to have a few hundred acres out in AZ, NM or west TX; somewhere I could just sit down on the front porch or the deck and shoot at targets way out on the back 40 if I wanted without disturbing the neighbors or having the cops called.
Hi everyone, I live in the country but dont like it so much. It has changed for the worse over the years...and I get tired of the long drive to reach civilisation.

No Bethpage, TN. It feels like the middle of nowhere! Even so, Its getting crowded around us, our ten acres seems so small now! Most of the people moving in around us seem so unruly, I guess they know they can get away doing stuff out here that they couldnt in town, although some of the older neighbors are very nice and old fashioned. Living in the country aint what it used to be. Take care.
Old thread, but I stumbled across it. I've never lived in a town or city, but I have lived in what you might call a village. Where I grew up we had a 1.5 acre yard, but the neighbors houses were within 100' of each other. After marriage our first and second houses had roughly .75 acre yards each. But where we live now, we have a total of 55 acres. 32 acres is being leased out for row cropping, nearly 20 acres of woods and roughly 3.5 acres of yard. I know it's not a large estate, but it's enough for me right now and it definitely keeps me busy!! :biggrin:
I wouldn't have it any other way.

Live in the farm country in the winter and in the mountains in the summer and going to do it as long as I can. The problem is with health and older age I am seeing in the not so far future a apartment in a old age community coming up. They keep telling me the golden ages.

I live in a small rural town, a few blocks in any direction, you are in the country. I can be out fishing, cutting firewood, hunting in about 10 mins., I think it is the best of all worlds. Very little drug problems & excellent schools, a lot of good people around here, most mind their own business, but are eager to help if need be.

At one time my house was in the country. Six years ago they turned the road into a four lane to bypass town.
Forty years ago, when I bought my place, it was in the country. Now it's in the Village limits but I have 10 acres with 3 acres that I actually mow, The rest is heavily wooded.
