In all of Middle Earth or Beleriand (before its flooding), where would you choose?

because it's hidden from all the evil beasties of Morgoth.
In the Third Age I'd go with Rivendell - I want to get my hands on Elrond's library!
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

I would choose Rivendell. Beautiful surroundings, good food, great music and Elrond's library. It's like going to college without any exams! (Not to mention the gorgeous guys who show up occasionally...)

Not Middle-earth or Beleriand, but I also would like to live in Numenor. Early on, of course.
For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars, and so on -- while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man, for precisely the same reasons. -- Douglas Adams

Beautiful scenery and a library! One could just read all day. Or play music!

As long as I could be treated like Bilbo was when he went there to 'retire'.
It would be nice to be able to make the trip to Hobbiton a couple of times a year, though, to visit... perhaps stay with Frodo in Bag end for a couple of weeks at a time.

That glimpse of it through the trees has always intrigued me.

"For DORA BAGGINS in memory of a LONG correspondence, with love from Bilbo; on a large wastebasket. Dora was Drogo's sister, and the eldest surviving female relative of Bilbo and Frodo; she was ninety-nine, and had written reams of good advice for more than half a century."

Even without the Elves there, there'd just be such a sense of history. Plus, I'm into forests.

Although I'm more of a Hobbity type, I think I'd prefer Rivendell. It just seems to be peaceful, calm and it's quite beautiful. It has the waterfalls, the wonderful music and poems, the rich history. So yeah, that's where I'd go if I had to choose.
