1. Everything you could ever need is within walking distance. Your town may not have sidewalks, but that doesn't stop you from traveling everywhere by foot. 2. Everyone you pass by greets you and says "good morning." You don't have to know someone just to say hello. 3. You know all of your neighbors. AND the rest of your block. 4.

Whether it's to lend a helping hand with a home improvement project or a pot of chicken noodle soup if you're feeling under the weather, there's always someone who cares. 5.
