Hilly with valleys, but with some flat areas and farm land. Bustling, cultured city about 30 min away (also where I went to school). Local town that I live in is small and old (from the 1770s) with local shops. There are chain stores, but they exist just outside the local area all in a strip mall, so they can be ugly OUTSIDE of residential areas.
10 min away from great ski slopes.
10 min away from an amazing lake
I live <1 mile away from a Tim Hortons
Hot/warm summers with clear skies, cold/snowy winters, beautiful stars because of the lack of city lights…no neighbours near my house. the world is my oyster!!
I so want to go home now. :(
