I live in a rural area and I love it . Can't imagine living any other way
You must enjoy the low population density and small settlements. 
I do and I love the forests and open spaces as well
Agricultural areas are commonly rural, so do you also live in such an area?
Yes I havve property and have gardens and a fruit orchard and a couple of ponds. Nearest neighbor half mile away
Since rural areas have a population density less than 150 people per square kilometre, its no surprise that your nearest neighbor is that far away.
Its great out in the country the crime rate is lower, no pollution and what crime there is consists mostly of property crimes like theft
Living in a rural community, do you ever feel lonely?
Not at all but when I go to the city to shop for supplies I feel claustraphobic. Down side to rural living is no public transportation so you have to have wheels
I see, being located outside towns and cities must mean you have to travel quite far for shopping.
