Small town in New Hampshire, USA. It's not a terrible place to live all things considered, but I'll probably be bailing the moment it makes financial sense to do so.
People- We're a small town of fewer than 10,000 people. A third of the town seems to be made up of people in their 50's and 60's who moved here back in the 80's, many of whom from Massachusetts. A third of the town seems to be elderly, due to multiple elderly communities that were built in the town about ten years ago. The last third of the town seems to be the children of the first third, raising their own families now, unable to escape this place due to the rough economy. Nobody works here, because there are no jobs here, and there are very few community events - so most people don't really know each other very well.
Traffic - Pretty light. There's a single main road that passes through town which connects three larger towns and grants access to the highway, so sometimes there's a bit of traffic there (but still, it's pretty minor). The speed limit on this road is higher than anywhere else in town, and the speed limit drops the moment you cross into any of the other towns it connects to - so the police department of my town and the departments of all the surrounding towns love to set up radar traps near the spots where the speeds change.
Summer - It tends to get relatively hot for New England, and high humidity isn't rare. It's hasn't dropped under 80F in a few weeks now, and we're in the middle of a drought. We tend not to get very many storms, and they're super mild when we do get them. Good luck leaving your house after sundown, though - you'll get eaten alive by clouds of mosquitoes (and that annoying buzzing you hear before they strike is them mocking your feeble attempts to stop them with bug repellents).
Winter - It varies. When I was little it used to get real cold around early November, then we'd be buried under multiple feet of snow from early December until sometime in March. It's nothing like that now. Now it's light jacket weather into December (it was around 60F on Christmas this past year), maybe a couple of snow storms in January/February that amount to a few inches, and that's about it until Spring.
Pros - Crime is almost non-existent here. We give out an unusually high number of speeding tickets thanks to the aforementioned main road that happens to pass through my town. Every once in a while you hear about some vandalism or a break-in committed by some local teenagers or someone from out of town, but that's about it. We're also pretty centrally located between larger towns, so we're like 15 to 20 minutes away in any direction from anything we could ever need. We're also not terribly far from the beach during summer or ski resorts during winter.
Cons - This place is incredibly boring. We have a convenience store (that due to bad electrical wiring, has burnt down like four times), a mediocre pizza restaurant, and a golf course. There are very few community events (there's a pancake breakfast with the police department every once in a while, a cookout with the fire department every once in a while, and every year the local fire departments of the surrounding towns hold a parade). Because we're in the middle of nowhere we're always last to get utilities restored if a bad storm knocks them out. You pretty much have to own a car to be able to get anywhere, as there are no jobs within reasonable walking/bicycling distance.
Also, due to the unusually large elderly population, the town never manages to successfully vote on anything that we desperately need, because they always show up in large numbers to shoot everything down. For example, we have a single elementary school that's been overcrowded for years. Like ten years ago they brought in some trailers to serve as temporary classrooms until funding could be secured to build a new wing. They're still using those trailers, which are now pretty much falling apart, because the elderly refuse to support any additional funding to the town's schools. The town's high school is also facing similar problems with no solution in sight.
EDIT:
Also, we were recently featured in a segment of John Oliver's "Last Week Tonight." It's at the 4-minute mark.
Yep. That's us alright.
