I live here because my family lives here; my parents are not in the best of health so I have to be nearby in case something happens. After mom's stroke it's especially important.

You might look them over as an option for your relocation...

No long stretches of row houses or block upon block of huge concrete apartment blocks/Stalin era styled.

Use Google street view to look at some areas to see what I mean.

thank you i will. where i live the now is rows of houses, we're so close i can hear my neighbours phone ring lol and all of our parks are being bought for housing developments its not an ideal place for kids. i think my son would be amazed at actually seeing animals upclose and not on tv!!

Don't get too close; wild animals here carry all kinds of nasty diseases, including rabies.
