Saitama is a big place, can you be more specific. I have lived all over the place. Its the relatively poorer side of Tokyo. I really liked living out at Ogawa, Ranzen Machi area for mountain biking, on the Tobu Tojo Line.
I bought a cheap foreclosed property in Hanno, in the mountains. If you like bars, that town has a few. I go canoeing in the rivers, its close to Okutama, end of line for trains to Ikebukuro. If you like nature, outdoors, and you stick to the west-side, Saitama is good. Also lived in Nerima. That was too congested to me, but good access to Roppongi, close to Ikebukuro.
Sumiyoshi was good on the edge of Tokyo. I used to ride my bike up the river, but its a monoculture. I only stayed there a month but OK access to Shinjuku.
