Knights mostly lived in manor houses on manorial farming estates. Knights, during most of the Middle Ages, were heavy cavalry. They needed to have armor and heavy horses. They were mostly people of some means, as they needed to be able to get such things and maintain them. They tended not to be people whose income came from trade, and they tended to be people whose homes had land for grazing. So, naturally, knights tended to live on farming estates or in farming communities.

Kknights often lived parts of their lives in towns and cities. A lot of people who were wealthy had more than one home, and the cities had their attractions. But the primary home of a member of the nobility was his estate, not his town house.
