Felton, CA
I love Felton -
3/1/2012I would move there just to be near Henry Cowell, which is one of my favorite places ever. It's a bit further from everything, but close enough to Scotts Valley to take advantage of what it has to offer. It's such a picturesque mountain town. If you want privacy in the woods but want to be fairly close to everything, this would be a great place. Cost of living is high. That goes without saying, but housing is cheaper here than in other parts of Santa Cruz county.

Neighborly Town -
3/1/2012It's a small city close to the lake and close to Chicago. One of the biggest advantages is its schools. Most of the elementary schools have a great school rating of 9 and up.
It's true that it has more to offer to families with children, but with it's beautiful, established tree lined neighborhoods, it's a beautiful place for anyone to live. There's not too much in the way of restaurants, but it's close to Evanston, so there is still much to choose from if you broaden your range a little.
It is very expensive. I'm from California, and when I search online for houses in a beach town I am interested in, they are often cheaper per square foot, many of them with an ocean view. I guess you pay for perfection.
