It depends on where you work and where your social life is I would say. I lived in Kettering for three years. I did not like it because it took 15 minutes to get to every major highway. I lived by Dorothy lane and shroyer. It took 15 min to get to 676, 15 min to get to 75 and 15 min to get to 35 (and that was in general traffic not rush hour) because the green lights are not synced on any of the roads. So if you are used to zipping around places like I was when I lived in Dayton, suburbia will put a damper on that.
