And it’s a pleasure to walk, breathing in the air with a full chest. You can admire the trees and flowers, go to the forest for mushrooms, fish in the river, listen to the birds singing and look at the stars. And what could be better for peace of mind and recuperation after the hustle and bustle of the city?

The space not limited by the entrance door
Another plus. What is behind the door of your city apartment? A playground where there are six more similar apartments? The entrance where the neighbor smokes? Mailboxes and a bunch of papers that are thrown here by unscrupulous neighbors?
And behind the door of a country house begins a world that you can fill with what you like. Maybe you will make a small garden on the site, maybe you will put a swimming pool and a sun lounger for the summer, or maybe a swing for a child, a doghouse, a barbecue, a gazebo, a sauna, a garage — anything or even all at once. This is your territory, and everything is limited by its size and your imagination.
Outdoor recreation
You no longer need to think about where to go with friends for barbecue — nature is already at your doorstep.
Does it seem to you that there is nothing else to do in the village? Not at all. Other great village activities include relaxing in your own sauna and swimming in the river, cycling, fishing. And a lot of forgotten active games: badminton, ball games, tug of war and others. And in winter, you can go skiing with the whole family.
Do not forget that the very concept of rest here is a little different. In the city you can go to the cinema, theater or club, but it will also be crowded and noisy. In your home, you can have a romantic evening by the fireplace at any time. Or lie in a hammock and look at the sky. Well, someone will undoubtedly say that taking care of your small garden is also a vacation.
A completely different level of comfort
Another obvious advantage of living in your own home is the opportunity to reconstruct the dwelling itself, complete it or change it at your discretion and taste. You will be able to do this at any time, and you will not have to go and get permits.
The design of the courtyard can also be done in any way, which is almost impossible for the city.
In all modern villages and towns, you will have access to the same communications as in the city, including the Internet. This means that you will be able to work remotely.
In addition, the heating season here will start when it is convenient for you, and it will end too.
You can no longer worry about someone taking your parking space. And no questionable companies in the yard and entrance.
You can get a dog, which you have always dreamed of, and calmly let the child go for a walk with her. And in general, your child will constantly walk and spend time outdoors.

Transport accessibility
Country life allows you to be away from busy highways. On the other hand, this is the first and rather big disadvantage. Most of the villages are located at a decent distance from the railway stations. Even if there is a bus stop near the house, it will only run a few times a day, and in bad weather it may not come at all.
A possible solution in this situation may be your own car. But if you work in the nearest major city, then seasonal traffic jams, prolonged road repairs or a sudden car breakdown can unsettle you. And it’s not very convenient to take children up to 11th grade and pick them up from school every day, you must agree.
By the way, roads inside a village or village also cause a lot of headaches. Outside the city, they are cleaned and repaired less often and worse than within its borders.
