should i stay where i am? or go back?

I'm a junior in high school right now, and I've never really liked the place I live. Two years ago [freshman year], about halfway through the year I couldn't take it anymore and moved in with my cousin who is the same age and went to school in her town for the remainder of my year. However, at the time, there were 5 kids going to one high school and space was cramped. I was also more immature than I am now, so I hated living there. I loved going to school though, it was absolutely fantastic. I ended up just going back to where I live because it became difficult living there, and I certainly wasn't going to last 4 years. So I went to my school sophomore and junior year, and I'm really beginning to feel the same way I did before. I jokingly mentioned returning to my cousins town, and she was all for it. Next year, it would only be she and I, and her [soon to be] freshman brother. She now has her license, and we've both grown a lot as people. I have remained friends with those I made 2 years ago, too. So, I may want to go back. My problem is, though, that it IS my senior year, and I'm not sure if I want to abandon those I do actually love here. Such as my twin brother. I'm completely on the fence, I have no clue what to do.

Pro: 

staying where I've grown up, I know everyone and everything already, so its home
my twin brother and best friend are still in school with me
living at home for my last year in high school
finishing school with people i've known all my life

Con: 

knowing everyone doesn't mean I love them all the time
I've never liked this town, I've tried almost every year to leave
I really do like the people in the other town, I'm comfortable around them
maybe I need to do something different senior year, it could help me grow up
becoming accustomed to living away from home should make college easier
I think my cousin and I could get along far better as seniors than freshman
