Suggestion kt2le... think about buying that condo now and renting it out, not necessarily as income, just an investment. You can hire a management company to handle the details. By time you're ready to make that move you can sell you current home, payoff the condo mortgage and enjoy the good life. Cause it's gonna be a heck of a lot cheaper now than it's going to be in fifteen to twenty.

I chose the Urban life. I had lived in urban Houston in the '70's (it was all urban then), mostly Montrose area but took a job near Spring in the early '80's so decided to move local.

Wham ! ! ! What a culture shock ! ! ! It was a whole 'nother 'Merika out there. After about ten years of that I decided to go back urban and was looking in the Rice U area but decided to move to Dallas instead. Wound up in the OakLawn duplex area where it's just right. I thoroughly enjoy living in the semi-big city.

Rural for me, no doubt about it. I'd like to be able to see the night sky again. I'd like to be within 50 miles of a city, but only to visit and shop in, not to live in.

I chose urban, but sometimes I dream of living in a rural area. If I ever move out of Dallas, I wouldn't pick one of the suburbs, too boring and crowded to me. I either want country or city.

1. Urban - Uniqueness
2. Rural - Uniqueness
3. Suburban - Less Uniqueness

I like rural best. My second choice would be urban because I don't like the cookie cutter houses and neighborhoods of the suburbs. In the suburbs you can't have horses and chickens so I don't see the advantage.
