Thanks Jim. This exactly the kind of context I needed. What it looks like on the map isn't reflective of real life, but if you don't live here yet it's very hard to get perspective.

If you go to the far north you lose some of that. The far south becomes more than 1/2 hour away.

So the appeal/advantage of the far north would have to be the look of area itself, the cost, and/or its proximity to particular golf courses.
