I now live 250 metres from the sea, can hear the surf when I'm stood in the garden (this, on a warm, still late spring evening, is one of the most profoundly calming things I have experienced), I now actually have a garden (and off-road parking for both cars), it's really quiet - no through traffic, and I have way more space.
Also the neighbours are great and the dogs love it.
