I'm in Los Angeles proper, specifically the west LA side in Culver City.
We actually moved down from SF a few years ago because we were starting to get majorly priced out, but finding this particular area still too pricey for us to actually buy a home. It is a huge reason why we're OAD.
Hmm. The incorporated area/city we're in is actually fairly large, but it's 90% planned neighborhoods, not like a city like LA or DC. But we live in the (historic) downtown part, so I put urban. Lots of walking, city parks, shops and restaurants, etc. I certainly wouldn't consider us suburban, but we are still 45 minutes from the closest metropolitan area.
@dutchkatie, I LOVE Amsterdam! my BFF moved there about 5 years ago and I've only had the chance to visit twice. I love the biking culture and the abundance of great parks - great city for families!
