"Boulder Creek, CA\r\nJust over the hill from shmancy Woodside, absurdly rural Boulder Creek (and neighbor La Honda) has the open space to keep cyclists, hikers, and horses happy.\r\nPopulation: 4,923; median single-family home: $379,618\r\nhighway9.com\r\n\r\nCowichan Bay, B.C.\r\nA salty seaside village with a burgeoning artisanal food scene, it nabbed a \"slow city\" designation from Italy's Cittaslow. And with, okay, a somewhat rainy-dismal winter, it's still affordable.\r\nPopulation: 2,575; median single-family home: $367,600\r\ncowichanbay.com\r\n\r\nVashon Island, WA\r\nJust a 20-minute ferry ride from Seattle, this forested, farm-y land is studded with honor-bar fruit stands, and hosts professionals who are artist-hippies at heart.\r\nPopulation: 11,000; median single-family home: $400,000\r\nvashonchamber.com\r\n\r\nVictor, ID\r\nOnly 25 miles separate this mountain hamlet from ritzy Jackson Hole, but the crowds (and prices) have stayed low-key. Outdoorsy newcomers mix with ranchers in a town with four organic farms, two microbreweries, and a bike shop run by the former mayor.\r\nPopulation: 1,928; median single-family home: $189,000\r\nvictorcityidaho.com\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
