Oh man... it's super suburban. Of course, if you've got a family and don't want neighbors breathing down on you from every direction, a proper suburban home here is totally affordable.

That said, if you like to play outside, it's a paradise. We've got thousands of acres of public land within reach, easily accessible and free to all.

Heh, I live in Seattle. Not only do I have the Cascades within reach, I have the Puget Sound, and a lack of Phoenix heat. And it's not super suburban.

Oh sure! There a nice places everywhere! I think we can both be jealous of folks who live in Boulder and whatnot.

I guess what I mean is this - we have several HUGE parks right in our urban area: South Mountain, the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, and the McDowell Mountain Preserve. If you like to hike, mountain bike, or trail run, we've got a great community of folks out there wandering around. (This time of year, at the crack of dawn.)
