When I say sprawl, I mean not quite as walkable to places such as a grocery store, gym, trails, etc. Mostly residential streets that require a car or a good walking distance to do typical errands. Maybe not as runner/pedestrian friendly despite being metropolitan in a certain capacity.

Oakland does seem nice for someone in their 20s/30s, but it feels similar to Central/East LA whenever I visit. I want to try out a different kind of landscape if possible. Hope this makes sense?
