Thinking About Moving to a Small Town? Part 1 by Susan Dunn
Page: 1 2
Are you thinking about moving to a small town or to the country? I am. In doing some research, I discovered some assumptions worth checking out.
It's Cheaper To Live In A Small Town
It can be (Daphne, Alabama, for instance), but not the small towns of Grapevine, Keller, or Boerne, Texas. Go here to check out house prices all over the country: http://houseandhome.msn.com/homes/homesoverview.aspx. And remember low housing costs generally mean lower salaries.
The Schools Will Be Better
Or safer, or more discipline, or less drugs ... Check it out. Some rural schools are poorly funded. My friends who moved found their elementary-school daughter in a mobile classroom with a teacher who said she "didn't have no idea."
Just Like Here Only Smaller
Not necessarily true. In Lillian, Alabama, population 4800+, the median age is 56.6.
It's Safer
In driving around Lower Alabama, where the houses are nestled under trees back off the road, I was struck with how safe it was ... and wasn't. A burglar would certainly be more visible in a suburban area. Looking up the crime statistics is one way to verify your fears or fantasies --http://houseandhome.msn.com/pickaplace/nf_Overview.aspx.
Talk with someone who lives there. When we moved to SA, we were told that the crime rate was high but mostly centered in X part of town. ER figures confirmed this. Crime statistics need some interpretation.
The Traffic Will Be Better
In semi-resort Lower Alabama, the traffic was considerable as I neared the towns of Foley and Mobile. In the country, the traffic was sparse and the scenery enchanting but I put on my thinking cap.
The traffic was very slow -- 35 mph on some of the county roads and on my brief sojourn I got caught behind tractors and other farm equipment on roads without passing lanes. The unpaved roads didn't look so charming when I thought about heavy rains.
If it's a growth area, road construction may not have kept up. Think like a resident, not a tourist. Check these things out for yourself, and zero in on how YOU feel.
The Pace Will Be Slower
And just how slow and in what areas? When there's a slower pace there's a SLOWER PACE ... like finding out there's only one person in the county who lays tile and he's booked for months. Be sure when you visit the place to get out of the "tourist" mode and feel it as it would be to live there.
Moseying down the main street with a stop sign on every corner while you're fascinated with the quaint little shops is one thing, but trying to get a broken toilet fixed quickly, or to get out of town in a hurry to meet a plane with all those "rural drivers" is another thing. In some areas there's still no cable.

I hate a fellow whom pride, or cowardice, or laziness drives into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl; let him come out as I do, and bark. ~ Samuel Johnson ~ Born September 18, 1709
