The Talmud in Artscroll Kesubos (all about Yishuv Eretz Yisroel) quotes in the notes that with regard to living somewhere, its important to live with good neighbors as they have a affect on a person. It quotes the Mishna in Pirkay Avot (Chapter 6, Mishna 9) states:
“Said Rabbi Yossi Ben Kisma:
“I was once walking on the road, when a certain man met me. He
greeted me, “Shalom,” and I responded: “Shalom.” He said, “Rabbi, from
which place are you?” and I said to him: “I am from a great city of
scholars and sages.”
He said: “Rabbi, if you will live with us in our place, I will give you a
million dinars, gold, silver, precious stones and pearls.”
I replied: “Even if you give me all the silver and gold, precious
stones and pearls in the world, I will dwell only in a place of Torah…”
