I’m only 6 miles from a grocery store but just having moved from a major metropolitan area to a small city in a rural area has been a shock.

I cannot caution you enough.You’re right to be hesitant. If it’s possible do a long term stay before you consider it. And I mean like a month or two minimum. It’s got to be long enough for you to get over being in a “new and interesting” place so you can really experience what day to day life is like.
