I live 5 minutes walk to lake Huron. Less than 5 mins walk to a golf course. Less than 5 minutes walk to hours worth of nature trails. 5 minute drive to the largest ski hill in the region. I love where I live.
Only drawbacks. It is in the communist republic of Canada and it is pretty expensive for housing and cost of living wise here. Not as expensive as Toronto but getting pretty close as many people with money leave the city for a better lifestyle.
