A small city in New England and within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Public Transportation is minimal, only 1 cab service and I'm not really on the bus line but can request the local public mini bus a couple of days in advance to pick me up. Work isn't far away so I don't have to get up 3 hours ahead of time to get up, get ready to go in with a long commute.

I live in a larger city in New England! But we're not in the 'thick' of it. We live about three minutes outside of the busy parts.

Well it's a city in a suburban area so I went with suburb. Right next to a big city too.

I live in a suburb of Cleveland and while I'm close to everything, including downtown, it looks & feels like I'm much farther out in the country, (at least in my little enclave next to a country club golf course & a nature preserve on either side). I just love being out of the fray, but if I want the orchestra, museums or Cleveland Clinic, I am within a 20-30 minute drive at most, but usually 10-15 minutes. I love the peace & quiet! If I could get away with it, I would like to live far away from cities, but I need the close medical care & I love the cultural events without having to drive far to get to them!

I wish you had put "other" or exburb.
Geographically, I live near the suburbs of Chicago. But, our area is an unincorporated area, and looks very rural. One of our outbuildings used to be a chicken coop, and we can have chickens or goats or sheep if we wanted. Our property is an acre and we have permission to have a horse, but they are a huge responsibility (especially in the winter) so we've decided to stick to dogs.
We don't have sidewalks or street lights, we have a private well (which we cannot drink the water from) and a septic tank and do not have sewers or piped in treated water. (Thus, we only drink bottled water, and we have a good reason to. Our wells were contaminated with E Coli at one time and a lot of us got sick. I'll never drink from our water supply again. We use it for washing and dishes and laundry, but it's as hard as can be.) Most people have an acre or a half acre and we have rivers and ponds close to us. It's really a nice area, I just wish we had investigated the schools better before we moved here, though. (They waste a lot of money on things that aren't necessary and don't spend enough on things that need the funding.)
In the summer, it's nice because we have a large garden as well as lots of room for flowers but in the winter, plowing and shoveling a 100 ft driveway in a PITA.

I live in a city but rather live some where quiet.

Small city in New England... Lots of public transportation to other towns and citys but not much within my town. I can walk to lots. =) Gotta take the bus to school every day though.

I live in the Southwest Suburbs of Portland, Oregon. It's a nice little city with lots of parks and good schools.

Out in the country on five acres with my horses, but somehow only 10 minutes from the mall and 18 minutes from Portland. It's quite a magical place

We live in a small college town. It's quite odd, actually. It's a small town that's quite bustling. Without the college, though, the town would be nothing. It has a population of about 28,000 and the enrollment of the college makes up 21,000 of that.

I live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio..which is really not a big city but I guess could be considered so by some.

Technically I live in a city, but it's a smaller city and feels sort of suburban.

Suburbs! About an hour outside of the city.
I would like to be a little farther out, but I'm not a fan of the morning commute, so this is a nice balance.

Suburb, but pretty close to the city. All the advantages of city living with lower taxes

Suburb. I'm not far from a very major city, though.

City for me.

We live in the country...about 15 miles from town. I love it, it's so peaceful!

I'm about 15 minutes from town. 1 hour from the nearest city.

We live at the edge of the suburbs and the country I guess.
