Pros and Cons of living in the country?

It really depends on where... Suppose you bought a house in small town north of Lake Tahoe, there is SUREFIRE return in profits when selling the house. It has nothing to do with City or Town or Village. Just basically has alot to do what the area have to offer. You could buy a house out in country in front of ocean, I can guarantee you will get HUGE profit in return when selling house, on other hand, that if you bought house in worst area in the city, you won't be able to gain a penny, or maybe losing money. Bottom line, any waterfront properties really is the BEST investment you could buy in real estate world... Trust me!

True I forgot about the places up in North Calif except for my brother's mountain home, they are still cheap compare to the one near Tahoe. They are too expensive now.

Like what diehardbiker65 say.


And it´s also important to have good bus connection or nearby highway (motorway).

I would like to tell you bit about my country house.

We bought land in 1988 cost was 45.00 DM (Germany Deutsche Mark) per square = $ 30.00. The Expert from house company estimated the value of our house and land in 1989 before we start to extend wintergarden and porch on our house. It written that my land is value 300.00 DM per square ($197.55) and my house is also over 2 double time value on 1989 than we built our house in 1988. My house extension was done in 2000 but I estimate it would value more than Expert´s confirmation in 1989. Expert told us that the land increase 5% every year and value than house. We will order Expert to estimate our house and land again before prepare the will for our children´s future safety.

It´s nothing do with villiage or countryside but land value and well care house and garden.

I live up in North of LA county, this place is booming and I am ready to move farther away from here. When we first bought this home 22 years, it was dirt cheap but I love it cuz it was small town with mountain view from here with clear sky and wide open space. Now my kids can not afford to buy homes around here. It is getting too expensive and the new houses already sold out than ever. In 1982, it was only 50 thousand people lived here and now it is almost half million people. In 1989 the house market around here were so bad and many people gave up house and foreclosure their homes cuz they could not sell it. Now it is different, everything is sold out fast and over price homes. Unbelievable. City people are moving up here cuz they think it is safe place here to live and cheap to buy but they bring troubles here from city.

But ur right, I have forgotten about other area doing great with investments alike my brother's land, they are still cheap and hidden from public.
 
I have been in country all my life since i was baby, I just used that way I was grown up in my hometown before I got married and move in different town in country area. I like the slow paced driving and laid back people that I like to relax a lot better than living in the city that's scare me most in highway and huge traffic jams.
 
I live about 15 minutes away from city.. I live like in very SMALL town, it is very quiet and very peaceful and great place to raise children and get away from high traffic places. My office is like 20 minutes drive, and it doesn't bother me.

Gas for the car/truck/SUV is the problem.. Wish I can ride my bike to work everyday to save my money on gas.
 
I was born and raised in the countryside with horses, and I find it is lonely to live in a sleepy village.

I am happy to live in the city suburb, 40 mins drive from the CBO, and happy to be closer to schools and my work, as I have about 10 different High schools to chose to suit my daughter's.

My good friend live in the country, there is only one high school, she don't approval of that school and she has to pay for the city high school she like and it cost her $$ for bus transport, and her children get up early and arrive home later because of the long distance on the bus!

The Government will pay her children's bus fares if there is no country high school near where she lives!
 
My home is in the country. It looks nice with pretty flowers and trees. You have room for things like horses and gardens. We have a pony, a garden, fields for the pony and a hay field to feed the pony. It's private, but you need to drive to go to other places. There is not as much traffic. But some of the people who lived on our road looked like they moved from cities to our road, and drove faster than country people and were too fast, so I needed to be careful.
