Where in Middle Earth would you like to live?

Suppose you could actually migrate to Middle Earth, in what place would you feel most comfortable spending multiple, if not all, years of your life?

It was close between Rivendell and Lorien, but Rivendell won out for me.

It's always been Rivendell for me - Bilbo's description which I won't even try to quote from memory was always powerful.
Good one, Stapper.
(If anyone says "I'll stick to where I am now" I'll be very surprised!)

but there are lots of places in ME I'd love to visit: Rivendell, Lothlorien, Minas Tirith, and so on. But the one that has always grabbed my fancy for some reason is Woodhall, the little hobbit village whose lights show up through the trees of Woody End when the hobbits meet Gildor. Looking at those warm windows from the outside has always made me want to go there.

I assume the Moria I voted for is the city in all its splendor, not the balrog/orc infested Moria during the journey of the Fellowship.
Can you imagine the grand city of Moria? I can!

Just think of all those trees! Although not being too keen on heights, not sure what I think about flet living. But Galadriel would be there. I'd be OK.

plus a flush lavatory system (it's gotta be with all those waterfalls).
I don't want to image what Lothlorien's system would be.

In fact, in my own little fantasy world in my head, I'm one of Thranduil's kin who came to Ithilien and helped restore it.

I've been trying to get some of the plants from Ithilien for my garden. So far I've got a bay and a tiny olive tree. But hey, it's a start!

Rivendell, but not the Rivendell of the movies.

I imagine it as sheltered, the structure made of brick or dark wood, the inside decorated in warm colors. The open and airy design of the Rivendell of the movies seems more like Lothlorien to me.

Years ago I thought I'd want to live in Lorien. But I really don't like heights. And I love waterfalls.
But, Valinor wasn't on the list (other?). I don't view it as "heaven", but somewhere where the folks are there in their physical bodies.

Yeah, it was "The Las Homely House" after all.

And I wouldn't describe the Rivendell of the movies as "homely". Well, maybe for an elf.

Its between The Shire and Rivendell. Although, who wouldnt want to live in Minas Tirith?
Shire takes it though, the hobbit-holes are brilliant, the whole place would be a joy to reside in..
Cheers,

I'd like to live in Minas Tirith in all its glory, but I'd rather live by the sea, and Dol Amroth has always sounded nice.

Had to be Rohan I'm afraid  .........although....everytime you walk through the gates of Imladris (in LotRO) and look down into Rivendell it takes your breath away & The Shire is stunning too, but I'd miss the plains of Rohan.

 I would love to visit my elven kin in Caras Galadhon but I would expect to be able to take visits with the Minas Tirith library and see Imladris, see Rohans' Golden Hall spend a spooky night at Weather Top and visit the Dwarves in Moria (collecting some mithril along as a souvenier) Finally I would petition Galadriel to be able to spend the summer in Bag End drinking old winyards and visiting Barliman in the Prancing Pony!! Hye sounds like a plan...anyone going to join me?
