I was 2 km from the nearest restaurant/ bar ( Tim Hortons doesn't count). If I wanted to do any activities it was a 15 - 20 minute drive to the city centre and I would have to pay for parking. All the houses looked the same, the neighbours were just as ####ty leaving passive aggressive notes about guests parking. The only up side was that the house was bigger, which was nice because I could always use an empty room.

Well, I don't live deep south so I can't really comment on that.
But I live on the west edge of the city. 23 minutes from when I sit in my car till I sit at my desk in the morning. 25-30 minutes home after work. I've got lots of restaurants/bars/services within 2 km. A ton more if you stretch it to 5 km. My neighbors are great. My hobbies are all on the west side of town/out of town.
It seems to me you picked a poor location for where you wanted to be.
