Yes: it's all about the neighbors. Every subdivision is different, and they're so large that many have different areas within. The trick is finding one that fits your idea of "neighborhood"; various grades of "country style" are available, some of which are "permit optional".
Note that grid power attracts neighbors. It also increases the assessed property value.
Rule of thumb: the further you are from the pavement, the less likely you'll be bothered by County, especially if on a "private" road.
Advantage: lifestyle options that aren't available most places;
Disadvantage: "you're not getting it today", expensive shipping, and it can be very difficult to earn a living (best bring plenty money).
