Some city-dwellers consider outdoor activities things like running to catch the bus, eating lunch in the park, and visiting a farmers’ market. But for others, that won’t cut it. They prefer their air fresh, their walkways unpaved, and their trees in forests. But they also want the benefits of living in an urban area.

As it turns out, a lot of people feel this way, which has made housing in cities in proximity to nature and outdoor activities quite pricey. There are, however, a few exceptions to this.
