A rural place an hour from a bunch of jerk offs seems amazing. Bonus points if I can't see, smell, or hear my neighbors.

Again, once in your thirties, you will have seen most of these things in your city and you won't care as much about being near them. This is why small town outliers are awesome. Live an hour outside a metropolis in a small community with all your everyday things you need and a few restaurants. You keep some things to do, you can be closer to the center of a community and more a part of it than in a large city.
