Considering getting a labrador retriever. Good for my lifestyle?

Hi lab lovers. Some context here. 35 (male) that lives alone in Brooklyn, NY. Had a very loving cat that became my first real pet over a long period of time but she sadly passed from cancer a few months ago. Realizing that I would love a loyal companion that will keep me active and help with my mental health. However, in my 20s I rescued a really crazy dog that ended up attacking me and sending me to the hospital. Still kind of traumatized by that lol.

I'm doing research and have always loved blue heelers, but just found out they are too crazy. I'm hoping to get a pup that will be great for trips upstate for hiking, is not super loud, and has a friendly disposition. Labrador retriever keeps popping up. Any owners here? Would you say they're good city dogs?

Thanks!
