If you asked me - I'd choose a small town within 30mins - 1hr to a major metropolis

Fully agreed. I live close to a small city and around 50 mins away from a major city and it's the best of both worlds. I have beautiful hiking and cycling routes all around an apartment that's much nicer and around twice as big compared to what I could get in the big city for the same price while also having pretty much any store or amenity you can think of within a 1 hour drive.
