Residential properties in East Flagstaff are larger and more rural than other parts of the city. North West Flagstaff is directly north of downtown, and is where the Snowbowl and Museum of Northern Arizona are found. West Flagstaff encompasses the area south and west of downtown, including NAU and the [[Lake Mary (Arizona)|Lake Mary]] neighborhood. It also covers the airport and [[Fort Tuthill]] (county park and the Pepsi Amphitheater), being bordered to the south by the urban areas of [[Kachina Village]] and [[Mountainaire, Arizona|Mountainaire]]. Outside of the city proper, these urban areas have a "mountain-town feel".<ref>{{Cite web|date=March 8, 2018|title=The Guide: Moving to Flagstaff|url=https://flagstaff.momcollective.com/in-and-around-flagstaff/the-guide-moving-flagstaff/|access-date=July 20, 2020|website=Flagstaff Mom Collective|archive-date=August 14, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200814143535/https://flagstaff.momcollective.com/in-and-around-flagstaff/the-guide-moving-flagstaff/|url-status=live}}</ref> Flagstaff has an "urban forest park", Buffalo Park,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/coconino/recreation/recarea/?recid=55138|title=Oldham Trail No. 1|website=USDA Forest Service|access-date=July 20, 2020|archive-date=July 19, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210719014514/https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/coconino/recreation/recarea/?recid=55138|url-status=live}}</ref> which sits on top of McMillan Mesa and used to be home to a zoo in the 1960s.<ref>{{cite web|title=Buffalo Park, AZ|url=https://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=1000|access-date=July 20, 2020|website=HikeArizona|archive-date=August 3, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803151257/https://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=1000|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=March 2, 2017|title=Buffalo Park, McMillan Mesa, Flagstaff|url=https://www.afar.com/places/buffalo-park-mcmillan-mesa-flagstaff-flagstaff|access-date=July 20, 2020|website=www.afar.com|archive-date=October 22, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201022013358/https://www.afar.com/places/buffalo-park-mcmillan-mesa-flagstaff-flagstaff|url-status=live}}</ref> Buffalo Park/McMillan Mesa bisects the city, separating East Flagstaff from West Flagstaff and downtown.<ref name="Flagroads" />
