And then there are the opportunities to do things communally that you might not have the room or funds to do alone:
Our set of town houses has a tennis court, two children’s playgrounds recently refurbished with great equipment and shaded seating near by for supervising adults. A pizza oven and BBQ with picnic tables are enough for a party of several neighbouring households to get together. We have a little couple of patches of remnant bush so you can go for a brief bush walk and feel right away from things, even close to the city centre. We have a couple of open grassed areas that are big enough to throw a ball for a dog, play cricket, frisbee etc without worry that the ball will go over the fence into someone else’s yard.
I know about a hundred neighbours by name.
Try fitting all that onto a suburban block.
