There are plenty of high density places (usually very expensive in the US) but not surrounded by natural beauty like this. Maybe in Europe you have this I haven’t explored extensively but in the Americas it’s basically nonexistent.
Can you give an example of such a place? The closest that I can think of is Vancouver but it’s one of the most expensive places to live on Earth. And it’s really only some nice parks, not fully surrounded by nature like in this image.
I’m not american so i can’t speak for that, but here in sweden some examples are Fisksätra in Stockholm, and Gothenburg (my fave city) has two northeastern lines of tram-centric suburbs that are just commie blocks in a forest, a similar slightly smaller suburb to the west which sits at the edge of the urban area, Jonsered which is a group of smaller apartment buildings way out in the forest with a commuter train station, and to the south there’s a new area called Nya Hovås which isn’t quite as removed from other stuff but still has the same feel of being a dense area surrounded by less urban area.
And at least the gothenburg suburbs are perfectly affordable since they have shiteloads of housing and are very much considered low-status areas. Also come to think of it, gothenburg has a bunch of natural (or at least still very pretty green park) areas throughout the city, so arguably many parts of the downtown area count as well.
