City-dwellers yearn for quieter country living

Are you one of the 72 percent of people who would happily commute for up to an hour in exchange for living in the countryside? In a survey undertaken by Yorkshire Bank, nearly three quarters of UK citizens polled said that they would gladly commute if given the opportunity to live a rustic existence, Aboutproperty.co.uk reported today.

Those polled cited various reasons for wanting to relocate to countryside. According to the article, a primary benefit – as noted by 59 percent of those interviewed – was improved health. Relocating out of the city would reduce exposure to smoke and other unhealthy emissions, say homeowners. Furthermore, many rustic areas offer better schooling and a slower pace of life, which is appealing to many stressed and overworked individuals.

Even young people are discovering the benefits of countryside living, said Lumby. Of those in their twenties who were polled, 62 percent believe that living in the city is not essential to career progression, whilst nearly half aspire to owning both a city and countryside residence.
