There are great hiking trails and mountain views. We've been to the children's museum and a nature conservatory that were fun. We're planning to take the train up to Santa Fe soon.

I can't think of any.

Our neighborhood is predominantly older/retired people. I have neighbor a few houses down who is a painter (in his 80s) and he is fun to talk to, in part because I am a visual artist, or I was before DD was born!

What is over-hyped by others that you just don't understand the appeal of: the usual small town ignorance "THAT doesn't happen HERE" It has, it does, it will. we have an extremely low crime rate, drug problem, etc. but we have one, nonetheless.
If you could change one thing about your town, what would it be: proximity to activities. Love the town, don't love driving 30ish minutes to go places.

How about eclectic wacky neighbors (cat ladies, funky artists, etc): We live across the street from a divorced mom of 3 who has 45 minute- 1 hour "meetings" with visitors who all drive different vehicles. DH is convinced something sinister is going on. (I'm sure it's nothing, but what's the fun in nothing?!)
the only other place I've really lived was a big-ish city for college, and I was not one for small yards and apartment living.
