I live in a big old house from the 1800s with my fiance and a roommate and a dog, with a little yard but it's tucked away from a lot of the hustle and bustle. My closest neighbor is about 100 feet away.
This is still in city limits. I can just as easily walk, bike, bus, drive wherever to go do fun things. But what you were describing of being occupied at home by hobbies and things to do still applies to me. I've been slowly renovating the house myself over the years. Just been working a lot of overtime lately so it's a bit hard to find the time.
This is in Pittsburgh PA. Most of where people live is in similar situations of old 100+ year old multi-bedroom homes. There are some new "modern" or "luxury" apartments going in around town but if you live in one of those you're literally just an idiot or an outsider to the area and think that $1.5k rent for a 1br is "cheap" (my whole mortgage is $860 split 3 ways for context)
