I think it's because my building's windows and walls are fairly soundproof.

The 'quieter' urban neighborhoods are significantly more expensive. Quite simply, I can't afford to live in a good neighborhood in the city.

Will you be commuting?

I spend over half my workday on the road, so the commute is unimportant. To be honest, I'd rather have a garage so I can park my car and not worry about it being stolen or broken into. Besides, people don't know how to parallel park, it's obviously a skill that cannot be taught, no matter what any driving instructor says.
