While Starbucks is always a safe bet, visitors need to try Victor's Coffee Company. It's a local coffee shop that's been in the area for decades, and with a unwavering desire to keep its mom-and-pop roots (you can only use cash, and the place is decked out like a cozy Celtic hideaway) is incredibly unique in a sea of gentrification.

Pretty good environment with trees and flowers. Schools are good, from k to high. If you like walking, plenty trails for you. Don't think any nightlife here.

Lots of cookie-cutter homes being built around smaller, one-story homes from the '70's.
