Crime and cost of living in your area.

We've been in our house for 15 years and haven't had any problems with anyone bothering our house, shed, etc. Our neighbors have been there over 40 years with no problems. We don't live in town or in a subdivision either. I'd say that we live 9 miles from town. School's are good, plenty of places to go eat and shopping, can't beat a small country setting in my opinion.
I agree, and I am not opposed to commuting for work. Right now I’m 10 miles one way to my work. It takes almost 30 mins because of traffic.
