I actually like it very much. My closest neighbor is 1/8th of a mile away. The only negative is it takes me a while to get up my road to my house. I live on a dirt road and it's a 2 mile drive. But, it's very pretty and generally, very quiet.
I'm very happy here. I have nice neighbors here and we keep an eye on each others houses when we travel. Everyone here except me is from the Northeast and Midwest. So we all travel. About half of us are only down here part time (cool months).
Really good....we always make it a point to take a house in a safe, upscale area....of course there's a hefty price but it's definitely worth it, lyrical;))
I like college towns where the college is kind of the center of things. I loved Auburn and we would have loved to have stayed there but my husband's business just was not there. We have a few friends from college days who are there to this day.
That's how it is here. It's a small town; without the university it probably wouldn't be on the map. It also helps that I'm employed at the university :)
