I guess I'm just sensitive because the suburbs give me the willies. They always have, too.
When we sold our little cabin in downtown Atlanta and started looking, we saw some subdivisions that repelled us like garlic does a vampire. They tended to be over in East Cobb, built in the 1980s, for immigrants to the Atlanta area. Very small lots, houses built on one pattern, all looked the same. Kinda creepy.
We went with an older suburb closer in. Houses are different architecturally, set at different distances from the street, larger lots, etc.
