The physical challenge...yep, it is definitely worth it. After physical activity, one always feels better both mentally and physically.
The privacy...again I agree. I would not want to live in an apartment complex. Not so much because of all the people but, almost weekly, another apartment complex goes up in flames and the tenants lose everything. I need my space, for sure. Like you, we're far enough away from the big city, yet still close enough to the big city, if that makes any sense. And from what I've seen of your area, that'd be where I would be if I lived in New Jersey.
