Thinking About Moving to a Small Town? Part 2 by Susan Dunn
Page: 1 2
The People Will Be Friendlier
Well, I hope I'm wrong, but since I spent my summers in a small town, yes, they are friendly if you're from there, or when and if they know you and you've passed whatever 'test' they had in mind. Small towns can be cliqueish.
Also, if you aren't used to them, it can be a suffocating feeling to realize that the same 30 people will be at the church, at the football game, and roaming around main street. If you like to meet new people every day, keep this in mind. Also, as my grandmother used to say, "Everyone knows your business in a small town."
Shopping
You may be taking for granted that there's a convenience store on the corner and an Office Depot a mile down the road. If you're really out in the country, it may take you 20 minutes to go pick up a gallon of milk, and you may have to drive to the next "big" town for a WalMart.
Focus on how you live day to day and what you must have to be happy, i.e., is it important to have a mall nearby with a big clothes selection, or will the Internet suffice, or the occasional trip into the city? Supplies can be over-priced in small towns, and services limited.
The Airport
San Antonio has one of the most centrally located airports imaginable, a selling point when I moved here. If you live in Rockdale, Texas, you have to drive an hour to Austin, a peripheral airport, or 2+ hours to San Antonio. Check out the distance, and consider if this is a big concern to you.
Health Facilities
When my former in-laws were in their 70's they moved off the Lake in the country they'd been living on for 10 years, and moved up to San Antonio. They realized they were living 70 miles from the nearest ER, that neither of them could lift the other into a car if they had a heart attack, and the phones went dead every time it rained.
In some places one pediatrician may serve a 200-mile radius.
Is It Just A Pretty Face?
Like the man who marries a beautiful woman, you'll be most satisfied if you give the decision time and look beneath the surface. I have a friend who lives on one of the Caribbean Islands and when I say, "How are things in Paradise?" she says, "close ... small ... stifling ..." They would've been happier remaining in Montreal and traveling to the Caribbean, she says.
Less Lawn Care
Perhaps true, but my friend who lives in Jamul, Ca. says the dirt is driving her nuts. No manicured lawns, no sidewalks, lots of dust and dirt in the house and in the car.
The Choice
Many people move happily to small towns and are pleased; others are surprised and unhappy. If you do the research, you can avoid being in the latter group! Use your EQ to feel out the situation and make a good decision. Page: 1 2
