Honestly, you’re probably the first person I’ve ever seen on here that is perfect for Aberdeen. Usually it is recommended only as a pragmatic choice (live close to work) because it is very boring. But since that’s not a concern for you, this is pretty much a perfect deal.
The town has the regular convenient things you might go to on the regular - Target, Aldi, etc. You’re not going to find bougie grocery stores and the like, but it sounds like that’s not your thing.
Where is the house located? The area closer to and south of 40 is not the best. There will be some small level of crime, but if you’re a hermit the probability of being a victim is likely extremely low. Just get an alarm system, don’t leave anything in the car, etc.

Haha ok i just looked it up it's about a mile South East from 40 & 22. I was warned that I may hear some Army horns or something of the sort every morning (not a concern at all). My life style is very simple pandemic and WFH turned me into a hermit homebody. I'll probably want a local gym to go to at least also. I'm very quiet and keep to myself as well. I guess when it comes down to it is overall safety. My relative says that he has an alarm system but found it wasn't necessary because his house is surrounded by street lights and he said he felt safe? I am just hesitant that's' why I am have turned to reddit!

You may at times hear pretty loud booms from Aberdeen Proving Ground. They test explosives and weapons at the facility and it can often be heard pretty far away.
