My perfect spot

Requirements for my perfect home....

(in the U.S. that is, otherwise I would say Spain, Brazil, Italy, almost anywhere else)

Near a body of water - a river, a nice lake, or the ocean.

Absolutely NO suburbs.... I cant stand houses that all look the same and are built less than 20 feet apart.... yuck.

An amazing Fall/Autumn.... I love fall clothes and fall holidays..... I want colorful leaves as long as I can get them. A location that promotes an active lifestyle... with running/biking trails, lots or parks, and more outdoor activities than indoor.

A main street with a great feel, locally owned shops, bakeries, cafes, book stores, brew pubs. Places that you can become true friends with the people behind the counter, and are always greeted with a "Good Morning Rena. Hows the family?" Local art. Music, sculpture, theater.... I want to feel the creativity of the community everywhere I turn.


Great local eateries. Good Food... Better Service!


Amazing Fishing Spots!!! So Spencer can feel like Brad Pitt in 'A River Runs Through It'


A place where education is important. People take pride in there school system and get involved as a community. I would like to have a decent college near by... university or community.

A VERY picturesque environment. Whether its red rock, mountains, the coast, waterfalls, or canyons... I want to be humbled every time I step outside... I want to sit on my front porch and bask in the glory that is mother nature. I want to feel small. I want to have an "oohh aaww" moment every day.

So what do you think? Is this too much to ask for? Did a city come to mind? Where should I live? Where is my perfect spot?
