be it in form of vast forests or even better mountains.
If you are within walking distance of vast forests and mountains I would argue you're almost per definition not in the suburbs any more. And ironically in many places living in the city might give you better access to nature. Certainly the suburb where I grew up getting to the 'real' forest required a car, while when I moved to the city the forest was a short walk from the last stop on the subway.

We may be thinking different scales of “vast” here, but where I grew up in the suburbs of Boston, I could walk 5 minutes from my doorstep and be on a pretty much endless network of nature trails running through the forest, along rivers and ponds. I spent a decent portion of my childhood and teenage years goofing off in the woods with friends away from adult supervision. A lot of New England suburbs are like that.
