When writing a book do you use real towns, schools, stores etc or do you prefer to create your own?

I use a combination of both, but when I make one up, they’re usually inspired by a town or store I’ve visited.
Usually make up my own! But typically inspired obviously from real places I’ve seen or live in.
Combination, I’m slowly writing a story using a town a couple over from me, but I made up a high school and a bunch of businesses
I’ve always wondered this
I’m currently writing for the first time ever and I’ve actually been researching to find real towns at least. I’ve kept my places vague so far (like, A used car lot, the laundromat, etc.) but if I have to use a specific name I think I would like to try for somewhere real.
My first book was a real place, second book is fictional 🙂
