It doesn’t get much better than this! You live in a town built upon a active lifestyle. This could be a small community in the mountains providing many trails and paths for activities such as skiing, biking, or running. Unfortunately, these communities are associated with a high social-economic status, limiting the people able to live in areas like this. But is you do live there, take advantage of it. Do NOT move, stay there forever and hope to raise your kids in a town that knows how to live right!
