I would prefer to live in suburban because even though urban has really convenient facilities there, some disadvantages might be a little bit noisy compared to living in rural or suburban and the living cost is very expensive, it is why I would choose living in suburban. Suburban also has a lot of convenient facilities but the demerit is that if we go to a work place or schools, the commute time and commute cost is much more than living in urban. So I am thinking about the next year because when my son goes to a high school that is located in urban, I think that it might be very exhausted or tired.

I still have access to public transportation and other facilities. However, I am a little unsure about what we will do when my son attends high school in the city. We will have to weigh costs and benefits of commuting or moving there.
