I live in a rural area and love it. It's located outside of the city, making it so peaceful
That sounds peaceful, but don't think I could live to far from shopping and entertainment.
The U.S. defines rural as encompassing. All housing and population not in an urban area is rural. Technically I am rural but only 7 minutes away from urban
That is not too bad then. I do enjoy falling asleep to the sounds of the city though. I can't sleep if it's creepy quiet.
I grew up in the city of Baltimore. It took me a long time to get used to the low population and small settlements here
Yeah I bet that was an adjustment. I am used to falling asleep to honking horns, people yelling, and sirens.
Don't forget a gunshot every now and again. I used to just think of rural as farm areas but it's considered the forests too. Pretty much anything not in the city
Oh yes that too. That one scares  me though.
