This.

I love in a sea of houses. Bu where I live I can take 30 minute walk to the doctor, or ironically, the gas station.

I think for that to work you need a strong public transport system (regular daily, frequent enough and comprehensive) as well as having multi-purpose buildings so that companies are mixed in housing, as well as green places and areas for people to meet, sit chat and go shopping.

Doctors, dentists, hairdressers, cafes, bakeries and flower shops all fit nicely with housing.
