Cities in Nordrhein Westfalen

Hi Friends,

I'm looking to move to Nordrhein Westfalen.  There are several cities and towns in the area that are within good commute of my future place of work in Gelsenkirchen.  Just wondering- are there any areas that are more fun and convenient?  Areas I should avoid?
I'm looking for a neighborhood with a good feel- close to parks as well as easy transportation into a bigger city like Essen, Dusseldorf or Dortmund.

Recommendations?  (Feel free to also expand on any things you've learned about the local venues or social groups).  Thank you!   :)

Sorry, I am not familiar with the area (and, since nobody else replied, this seems to apply to other readers, too).
Maybe you can visit and have a look at the areas and cities in question? That is certainly worth more than second hand information from the Internet.
