Why Country Life is Better than City Life

I know we are a little bias when it comes to country living versus city life since it’s what we do. But who better to explain why country life is better than some of our agents who not only sell country real estate, but actually live in the country too. Check out what some of them had to say below.

“I grew up in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) and moved up north just over 10 years ago. The air is better, the night sky is better, we have so much land and ‘everybody knows everybody.’ I can let my kids play outside alone, etc.” – Kelly Kwapick Frisch, Minnesota

“Peace, quietness, God, guns, gardens and animals!” – Lisa Bowman, Colorado

“Air and water quality are better. Prices, economy and taxes are less. Peace. No noise. Less lights. Nighttime sky. And survivability if the end of the world happens.” – Lindsay Smith, Florida

“Lower taxes, less traffic and less hassle when doing things like renewing license plate tags. There’s also easier access to and influence on elected officials and cleaner air.” – Bradley Arnold, Tennessee

“Fewer people in public spaces, better access to state parks and federal lands for hiking, biking, fishing, hunting and much more. There’s also friendly people and familiar faces.” – Melissa Clark Oney, New Mexico

“Getting to actually know people in your community and becoming friends with them. Seclusion and privacy. Build a campfire, make a garden, catch rainwater, park your pickup in the front yard or paint your house red if you want.” – Billy Golightly, Florida

“There’s endless things to do if you are quarantined! I’m recovering from COVID right now and can still go walk my dogs.” – Karin Kasinger, Washington
