Is it better to live in a flat,a modern house or and old house?

By way of introduction, I would like to live in and old house outside the city, with a thick forest close to it.

On the one hand, in a modern house, you will have many comforts owing to its latest technology and you could have to show your wealth in your neighborhood. You maybe become the most popular person in your town.

On the other hand, in my opinion, a modern house has little character, while the character of an old house endures for a long time.

I do not like a flat either, as it normally is in a city and I can not stand hearing noises all day.

For these reasons I would not live either in a modern house or a flat.

What do you think about?
