I still prefer the inner neighborhoods of the city, choice #1 (especially because I live in an awesome row house now). But you can throw in the cute doggie!
That's Zorro! He does love his big (for the city) terraced yard but is equally at home downtown.
I must admit I do love a great row home neighborhood, the density is really about perfect for the inner city. I would certainly be very happy in many.
And texdav you are being just a little too harsh on us city folks, actually most of us are really nice, quiet and polite folks, crime in most cities is less than many suburbs and the traffic is just a sign that walking is a better and more enjoyable alternative, its how we connect with one another.
So I offer this to this mix. Choice #3: Modest sized home and lot, 1800sf/5500sf, walking distance to village amenities and public transportation in a streetcar suburb 1 1/2 miles to downtown.

I think I'd still prefer Choice #1, too but 3 does seem nice. Where is it btw? I thought Southern California when I saw the house.
The only thing more meaningless is this post....Sounds like you are too simple minded to understand the question, let me break it down for you:
Would you rather live in a neighborhood with architecture/housing stock typical of the first pic, (and this is where it may get tricky for you), these types of neighborhoods usually are higher density, more walkable, less reliant on automobiles. The second picture represents a neighborhood that is most likely more auto dependent, less walkable, but offers more elbow room and more yard space for Frisbee or slip 'n slide or whatever your activity of choise is.
Some people prefer a dense, walkable neighborhood while somebody else would be pleased as punch to live on 2 acres of land. Im not sure how you missed this.
Thanks for playing.
This post is completely rude and has been reported.
I agree with the poster you are mocking. How do we know from the two pictures posted what the rest of the neighborhood each house is situated in is like? I've seen inner city housing that is hardly "walkable" from the standpoint of being accessible to the things that modern-day yuppies want: bars, restaurants, marijuana shops (legal in my state with a card), other entertainment, grocery stores, 'good' schools (or any schools), etc. I've seen suburban houses that are walkable by those standards.
Capiche?
