This city is also renowned for its architectural marvels by notable architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, John S. Van Bergen, and David Adler whose works are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. To add, nature enthusiasts will love trailing and biking around the parks, gardens, and preserves which are covered in unadulterated land and water bodies.
