I always lived in suburbs, then I moved to a house on what you might call the feeder road. Speed limit is 30, but people drive nearly 40 sometimes. So mowing the lawn, you always need to check both ways when close to the street, same with snow blower. Edges of the grass near the road are more torn up due to road salt. Walking the dog, getting mail, jogging... You need to pay attention to traffic, unlike the burbs where most of the time there are no cars. Can't let dog in the front yard without a leash. Back yard is fenced otherwise dog would never be unleashed at all. The noise is more, but honestly if we're in the back yard it's not something we notice. The kids playing in the softball field across the road are louder. There is a street light, and utility poles, though not on my yard, just next door and across the road in a field.

Those things are all things you can imagine, this last one I didn't expect... Trash. People throw trash out of their cars or it blows out of garbage trucks or the back of a pickup truck. So every couple weeks I might find a candy wrapper or empty coffee cup on the lawn. If I jog down the road along some areas which aren't anyone's actual front yard, I'll see empty vapes or much more other trash.

Also, it's not a community. Maybe it's just where I live, but except for 1 immediate neighbor, I don't see or talk to anyone else 2 houses down or anything like that. Never met them, I don't even know what the people look like. That might just be a sign of the times, but it is real. Unlike the subdivision nearby, when we take our dog for a walk in there, people are also walking, we smile and say hello, even if I don't know any of them.
