Like others have said. City now, Country later.
Im in NYC right now, and its great. The people, arts, food, culture, events, transit, really get you going...but I couldn't imagine raising a family here. I'll get the big city experience out of my system over the next couple years, then around family time, move to the suburbs, then later in life, peaceful seclusion.

Big city, something like NYC or Tokyo or HK or something. I just love the bustle and going down stairs, walking 3 feet to get some food, always stuff going on and just a much more efficient transit system.
When I read the thread title, my exact thoughts were, Calgary, Tokyo or NYC?
The countryside has an appeal, but only as a vacation place. It's nice to take a break, but I need civilization to keep me occupied.
When I'm retired, I'd like to be living in a slower pace area in a lake front or ocean front property, preferably Cali. What, it's only 5mil to start right? that's nothing.

I'd personally also pick countryside living. I love bigger, private yards, the space to spread out and the general feel as well.Originally posted by GREENBOY
Countryside every time. Love the open space and good solid people.
Where are these neighborhoods that are close by Calgary. I'm looking for within about 30 minute drive.
I just recently by chance "discovered" Bragg Creek and love the large, unique homes and huge yards. What else is close by??

I don't miss the city in the least. I now live in a tiny town, 15 minute drive to High River, quiet, peaceful, very freindly hamlet - everybody knows everyone else ... I like the quaint-ness of it ... but the city is nice for the availability of amenities ... but I have a car to get me there, so I am happy in the middle of butt-fawk nowhere
***edit*** and in the city I would not have found a 4 bedroom house on half an acre of land for $200K
