I grew up in two places: Montreal and a place called the Wirral, which is across the river from Liverpool. When I moved to Toronto as a young man, it really took a very long time to really be happy in this area. I still don't like Toronto especially, but we're pretty happy in a town a little north of the city and feel a part of things. Some of that may have to do with the greater sense of permanence that comes with time and life experiences: we own a home, we have a child, we have careers, etc.
