I've been at my current place for a bit over 3 years now. It's a very nice location; just across the way from a large suburban park/nature reserve. I'm sure you've seen pics of the birds that come and visit my balcony each day for food 
(my image avatar is a sulphur-crested-cockatoo native to this region).
but before this ... I was living in a much more densely populated set of apartment buildings. There was a set of 3 very tall buildings forming a complex, and there were a touch over 150 units, and so with a very conservative estimate, there may have been 500 people or so concentrated in a very small piece of land (horizontally and vertically). There was a lot of 'people smog'; lots of students moving in and out each week, a collection of more stable residents, but in most part, it was a place of anonymous comings and goings, people never really 'knowing' each other.
it was also all concrete, and directly in front of a rail line (both passenger and freight trains) and a main highway. So plenty of noise
what I'm trying to say is that it was not the most salubrious of envrionments in my opinion. Not much of that "2nd density godlike expression of the creator as expressed in natural animal life and trees and such sort". But I lived there for a number of years as I was still incubating the explorations of the mind. It served its purpose.

but when I moved to this new place - a much nicer location, a much smaller population density (just 40 units over 5 floors, and only a couple of neighbouring apartment buildings, both small in scale), and the cleaner air and trees ... it was a very nice transition.
it was an opporunity for the 'outer surroundings' to more closely support a more internally, healthy state in my opinion. I've only moved 3 times in my whole life (I tend to put down roots lol), but I tend to think that location and living arrangements (who you live with, how you get along) have a big impact on how you experience your every day.

so yeah, moving house is like getting a new life
