CROYDON! Which is a suburb in Melbourne, Australia - not the one in Sydney, or the UK and no doubt there's one in the US as well!
People say that were I live is probably the only kind of place like it in the world - wiiide open spaces, big houses, the mountains at your doorstep, with the CBD only a 30 min drive (or 50 min train trip) away. Living about 36k's from the CBD, on the edge of suburbia. Melbourne is probably one of the only place in the world where you can do this on a middle-class budget!
