Where and how people live is an interesting aspect of travel. In part, the where and how is determined by the nature of the land. Climate, available resources, length of settlement of a location, cultural preferences, and economic circumstances are just some of the determining factors. While there are some settings that I wouldn't want to permanently contend with, it is cool to explore new settings for a period of time.
I will be the first to admit that there are many, many places I have yet to experience. I have never been to Asia, most of Africa, Central or South America (though I do hope to explore part of Central America in the near future), or Eastern Europe. Yet. Until then, I will have to share images of Parisian apartments; the upper story of a house in Carmona, Spain; the row houses originally provided by a company to the miners of Wales; an isolated Isle of Wight farm complex; and house boats on the Avon River in Bath, England.
My own personal preference for a home is a place in a small city with a temperate climate located near a large body of water, one that has the option of visiting a metropolitan area without much travel or effort. I wonder what preferences you, the visiting reader, have. If you care to share, please leave a comment before you go.
Thank you for visiting, please feel free to stop by again. May your travels be interesting and enjoyable.

The bottom pic looks exactly like the street my parents lived on in Londonderry Northern Ireland in the 60's. : )
Water for sure. Madison, and one day, bigger water we'd like - where, as Dylan learned from you to appreciate - you cannot see the other coast.
Those English landlords were consistent, weren't they?
Water, indeed!
