Country or suburb.
I grew up in a small town, but away from the town part of it. We had basically one neighbor within sight. I consider that country, even though it's not as countryish as other people may prefer.
Then we moved to a suburb-type city. A lot of it is planned communities with cookie cutter houses on yards about big enough to put a small swimming pool.
Despite the squished housing, it was convenient. There were a few malls within a short distance and there was good shopping in general.
Then we moved back to where I grew up. It's beautiful here. The wildlife is really neat to see and it's great going outside and not seeing three houses with their windows staring down at me when I go in the yard.
There is some noise, but it's mostly from birds, not loud music or barking dogs or motorized scooters zooming down the street.
I miss the convenience of an average sized city, but it is beautiful here, and it's fun showing my younger siblings the places where I used to play (climbing on tree stumps and catching tadpoles in the marsh) when I was their age. There's plenty to draw here, too.
And there's actually space to get away! ^_^
