Same thing here in this part of Western New York where I live.
I live where I do for a reason, that didn't happen by accident.
35 years ago, when I moved from the rural swamps of South Carolina to Western New York, I was looking to buy a property that would help in my transition and my way of life as I knew it. So I bought a property that was surrounded by swamps.
#1. No public sidewalks (human highways) anywhere nearby.
#2. No bus routes anywhere nearby.
#3. Everyone here looks like me if you catch my drift, well, except for the Indians, but the tribe that I live next to are good people for the most part.
#4. Private well, municipal water just seems like a really bad idea to me. YMMV
#5. Rednecks, Swamp People, Indians, Dogs and Backhoes. Woo Hoo!
The difference here in these swamps in WNY is that there are no venomous snakes or alligators. But if somebody has to live in New York State, where I'm at is the place to be. IMHO
YES!!!
We searched high and low for the perfect (best) place in our budget.
The closest sidewalk to me is at least 5 miles away.
Bus route?? There are NO busses here. Not a single bus stop in the entire county.
The look, indeed, I catch the drift. Again, we choose very wisely. Demographics were HIGH on the list.
We are on public water. A well on the property is on the list to get done.
The people here are doing everything they can to keep things this simple.
