You? City Girl? Country Girl? Suburb Girl?

[MAKmom]

I have to say country/suburban. I was born in NE Philadelphia. In first grade we moved to Edgemont PA we had dirt roads. What a shock! We had an Apple Tree & the first time my DD showed us the house I got stung by a bee. I was thrilled with move,not. I now am so happy they did it. I have my best friend from down the road for 30 years now. The road is longer now.

Now I live in what was country 10 years ago when we moved here but is turning suburban.

We live in suburbia and I love it. We're close enough to a major city (45 minutes to Washington DC) that we can easily get there and close to the country. We have all the major shopping, plus pools and bike paths, etc. I think it's the best of all worlds to raise children (of course you country and city people might disagree ).

I've always lived in suburbia or small towns, which is what I like best. I grew up in the suburbs of Maryland, a short trip to Washington DC. In Maine, I like being close to a larger city, (half hour to Portland and an hour and a half from Boston), but I do not wish to live in a city.

I've always been a beach/coastal person and have never lived less than an hour or so from the shore. Our house now is about a ten minute drive to the beach. Actually, I'd like to live on a tropical island somewhere, but it's not practical right now. However, maybe within the next few years.......

I, for the longest time believed that there was nothing past Wolf Rd here.

As someone who has lived in the Chicago area all of her life, this had me

I love where I live right now. Close enough to Chicago to enjoy all the beaches, museums, restaurants, theaters and sports venues of a big city, but far away enough to not have to deal with the traffic. I am also about a 15-minute ride to what could be considered the country.

The most important thing though, is that I am within minutes of just about every store you can think of. Doesn't get any better than that.

I live in the suburbs but I'm a city girl at heart. I love the energy of the city and think it would be great to be in walking distance of shopping, museums, restaurants, and nightlife. If it weren't for the weather, I think I'd love to live in a city like Chicago or New York. I don't like the country at all - not even for a short visit.

Suburbia all the way for me. I like being 10-15 minutes from a store, mall or work. My commute is 15 max. My Dh's is 5 minutes. I can get to downtown Buffalo in less than 15 minutes, I can get to the Falls in 15 minutes and into Canada in a few more minutes. I can be on the expressways in 5 minutes, and if I want I can be out in the country in about 20 minutes. Can't beat that.

I loved growing up in the city of New Orleans but now I live in a small town and enjoy this life as well. Being next to the water is a biggie for me.

If I wasn't married I would definitely move back to a city so I could walk everywhere I needed to go.

I'm a little bit country...and I'm a little bit Rock n Roll.

Raised in the suburbs, moved to the city, living in the country...will retire on a beach!

We could be related

Definitely a suburbia girl. I've lived here all my life and could never leave. I seriously don't think I could ever move off Long Island. I live 20-30 minutes away from the ocean and from the LI Sound. NYC is just a train ride away. I have 5 malls within a short driving distance. I have a 10 minute commute to work everyday. I live within walking distance of every type of store I could possibly need. Yet, I still have a beautiful yard with all my flowers, my dog has a place to run around and your neighbors are just far enough away yet just close enough to be comfortable.

I mean look at it. I am a train ride away from some of the best shopping in the world! I am about an hours drive away from the Hamptons! Whenever I have to travel, I have 3 airports to choose from. Take an hours drive east and I smack dab in the middle of farmlands. Whether I go north, south or east, I hit beaches. I love it here!

City girl raising a southern gentleman in the suburbs.... You can take the girl out of the city ... you know the rest.

Can't relate to "country" at all.

 

[Crankyshank]

The older I get, the more I dream about living in the country (with a reasonable commute to shopping). I think I would be happiest living in a small quaint New England coastal town

 

[CyanFey]

I'm definently a country girl right now...we live on several acres of slightly rolling hills (or at least, as much of a hill as you can get in southern Louisiana! I sometimes wonder if we're on the only one... ), with an A-Typical red barn and white four-rail fence and everything. However, we are withen eeeeaaaaaasy driving distance of shopping galore, AND about an hour away from the city, new orleans. Or what was once a city...

I love living out in the country, but I think I could easily become a beach girl as well. I also like surburbia, wouldn't mind living there. I might even be able to swing the city-loft gig. I suppose you could call me versital.

 

[helenabear]

Mostly a suburban girl... with a bit of country mixed in. Not really a city girl at all... I like being near them, but not *in* them. I love the little communities like you see on TV. That is just my kind of life. I enjoy walking outside, passing a person, and saying hi whether you know them or not! Just my ideal

 

[JVL1018]

Suburbs all the way! I live about 5 miles outside of NYC and love it, I would never ever want to move anywhere else.
I really dislike going into NYC for the most part, but I like that it's there.LOL
Cities in general make me nervous, so it's nothing personal against NYC.



I have the ocean an hour away,the mountains an hour away, any store, any shopping within 5 miles...the only thing bad about this area are the prices of homes, taxes, and the fact that everyhting is closed on Sundays.

At heart, country girl. In practice, suburbia with a touch of city.

 

[binny]

Suburb. I like where I live now because it has a touch of all three. I live two miles from a mall - but I drive past cows to get there.

I have that too and I Love it.

We don't have a huge city but its big enough that we enjoy most of the amenities.

I am burb girl I guess (that just sounds so wrong!)

 

[CinderellaIam]

City girl born and raised and now living in suburbia and commuting into the city for work 5 dayss a week. The only place I am truly happy is at the beach, which is thankfully only a 15 minute drive away. So I guess beach bum would have been a good option for me!

 

[AllyandJack]

Country Girl raised in the City and SOOOOO happy to be in the Country now.

I’m a suburban girl and have been my whole life. I like living near a big city, but I wouldn’t want to live in the city itself.

I’ve often thought that moving to a smaller town would be nice when it comes time to raise a family, but I can’t really imagine living anywhere other than the suburbs. I think I might like a small city though—like Macon or Valdosta, GA.

I wouldn’t handle a very rural area very well either—no farm work for me!
