Interesting how that seems to work out.  I currently own two houses.
One in PA and one in GA.

My wife was born and raised in the country.  The PA house was her choice
and is in the city.  I have been unhappy living her for the past 25 years.

I was born a city boy, a mere 8 blocks from where this house stands.

The GA house was my choice.  It is in the country, set back from the road
and view from or to the neighbors is blocked by foliage.  Oh yeah, and I
don't have to plow the driveway in the winter!!  :-)
