Small rural Irish village. Kids play football in the street, people leave the keys in the doors, unemployed drunks stagger up the street on all fours in the wee hours of the morning, and there is a sheep market directly behind my house.
Sounds pretty idyllic, but it's actually a bit of a hole.

Mine's alright during the day time. If I go for a walk during the day, old ladies doing their gardening or people walking their dogs always say hello. It's a whole other story at night though. My brother got chased home by people with tazers last week, and the week before that someone was murdered two streets away. I'm just glad pretty much no one has a gun.
I live in a rather spread out apartment complex. There are about twelve three story buildings. It's low income so they aren't the nicest apartments but still pretty spacious and at a good price. We're kinda at ass end of the place on a little bit of a hill. Most of the people here are good people who're down on their luck and need cheap housing, but there's also quite a number of drug addicts. At least once a week an ambulance comes by to pick up someone who's OD'd on something. There's also a pretty high number of kids and a good chunk of the parents let them run around without any supervision. I usually have to move a few bikes out of the apartment breezeway to make it to my door. It's not a good neighborhood but it's at the right price.
Well where I grew up was quiet, your average alleyway-ridden suburban collection of cul-de-sacs, but just across the road was pretty bad. You'd see police going in every now and then to deal with the stabbings & robberies. As long as you kept to the side I was on and knew all of the alleys and other escape routes you were usually fine.
15 Years on we moved a few miles to where my mum's side of the family is from. Fairly quiet there still but the new area that was built since is the equivalent of the old.
7 years on and we've ended up moving to a tiny village 20 miles away. Now all we get is the odd dog barking and the jets from the nearby RAF base dogfighting over the fields in the distance from time to time.

I grew up technically in a state/national park. Part of our ranch had the line where the park begins in it which was fine because that part of the property was mostly sandy and had lots of hills.
Now I live in an acreage about 10 minutes outside of a metropolis. Best of both worlds. Except that most of my neighbors (they live about 1/3 mile away) are wealthy old republicans.

Alright I guess, I don't exactly gotten to known them properly other than their son also has the same name as well. Also they really should close the window to their bathroom as I can heard them taken a pissed whenever I enter the toliet in this house.
The area 300m down the road has one of the highest income disparities in the whole of the UK compared to the rest of the UK. The place I live is ok, it's a quiet suburb that has a few other students living there, but mostly families. It's also very full of white people, but that's the south-west for you.
It's a boring old suburban area near a city. It's boring over here, nothing exciting happens EVER!!
Mine is quiet for most part, I'm surrounded by fields that stretch for miles, but the people round here are very strange. They are all a lot older, all very much up themselves and the men are very old fashioned, they act weirdly and ignore the women if they talk about sports and doing work around the house, once they blanked me entirely for an entire dog walk because I joined in the conversation about F1 and football. The few kids that do live round here are mostly chavs, the rest do drugs and carry knives around, 2 of which nearly attacked my mum to steal my puppy rottweiler. It's on the edge of suburbia. Very picturesque but the people are not so great. I used to live in London, it's so much more quiet out here. I can't wait to move away from here, it's been the source of misery for me for 2 years now.
It's a typical upper-middle class NJ suburb. Landscaped yards, traffic, McMansions, we left our door unlocked for a few years straight, etc. Some of the kids I went to school with got new luxury cars for their 17th, very much a place concerned with status.
Very quiet.I live on a small road(wide enough for one car)that has maybe 20 houses situated along it.I'm surrounded by fields and woods on either side of the road.I like it to be honest as while it's rural I'm only a couple of mins walk from the nearby village and about a 10-15 min drive to the nearest city
It's not terrible, despite the fact that there is aboslutely nothing to do. You'd think since this is a college town they would have put a Gamestop or something in it. Some parts of the town are a bit more dangerous than others however, there was a drug bust in the house right across the street from a friend of mine. They were throwing flash bangs in there and everything.
Fairly quiet and calm suburban. Nothing major ever happens unless the neighbors start acting like fools then we've go a full blown sitcom going on in front of their yards.
Where I live can get a little rowdy at times. Drunks shouting at 4am I'm up anyway so it doesn't bother me. Some dick the other week was revving a fucking ped at 3am outside my house, if you're going to be anti-social get a real vehicle like a motorcycle not something that the average joe could pick up and throw at you. Some drunk guy started trying to break a neighboring houses window, he did break it. Sort of. He was going at it for like 15 minutes, until a neighbor told him to stop it. He then went over to the back fence of the defender and started hitting the fence. Then he left, the police arrived shortly after. I saw 2 people possibly fleeing the scene of a crime last night, they were running awful fast and then stopped when they'd got quite far away. I'm new to the neighborhood and friends from other parts of town say it's a death zone full of stabbings and what not, but I just don't see it. I haven't been started on by any 'NEDS' yet.
Very peaceful, despite being in one of the houses on the main road. It's an area with 4 dead quiet roads filled up with houses with massive gardens and drives with mainly old people in them (the only young people are us, next door and one down the road)
There's a pub at at the end of the road which cases no problems, everyone is friendly and the whole surrounding area is the same. I feel really safe and happy here.
