It depends on the person. I live in a dense city and have been looking for a house. Unfortunately I can only afford highly residential areas further away (boring areas yet still in the city limits) and the thought of this really stresses me out.
I just love the buzz and activity all around me. People having fun, drinking, playing music. As I live alone I know I would be extremely isolated in the countryside. I've lived in more remote areas in other countries which is precisely why I moved here :)
But people differ a lot and there's not one size that fits all. Some of my friends live in the areas I call "boring" and they actually hate coming out here. Where I live is pretty much the hospitality / nightlife center and although I'm too old for all night binges I just love the feel of this in the area. When people are having fun that kind of radiates.
I totally get it. Two of my closest friends wouldn't trade city living for anywhere else, and a third has been gradually moving further and further out, realizing that he likes it more and more each time he moves. To each their own!
