I'd have to say the suburbs - I grew up in the burbs, it was awesome. My neighborhood was really really safe, you could ride your bikes late at night or hang out with friends, and you didn't have to worry about anything happening. My town was medium-sized (60,000), so it was big enough not to feel claustrophobic, but small enough that we knew a lot of people and it could feel really homey.
I also got to grow up in a house my dad built himself (with a bunch of friends). I can't imagine growing up in an apartment or anything like that. Although my family is by no means wealthy, in my town my parents were able to afford to build a house in a nice neighborhood to raise their kids. In a city, it would take too much money.
I love the city, don't get me wrong - hell, I decided to stay in Boston after graduation, and would love to go to another city (New York, San Francisco) later. But to raise kids, I'd still have to go with the suburbs.
