Reclusive house all day long.

Guaranteed peace and quiet whenever you want it.
No risk of lame neighbors right on top of each other.
Lower mortgage payments to free up cash for other activities.
Likely no HOAs and laxer building regulations to improve upon your property.
Worried about loneliness? Get a pet or two, or plant a garden.

Years ago I moved up to the mountains from suburbia, and I will never go back.

A few years ago I moved from the mountains to the suburbs and I hate it and can't wait to get back.

I miss the stars...

Honestly my favorite part is the sheer volume of people, or lack thereof. The town I live in is small enough that we have a great community up here, and rude punks don't last too long. People wave at each other as they're going about their day, and it's quite pleasant. It's a ski town, so we get the influx of knuckleheads in winter and summer, but fall and spring are the best.
