If you wanna say Minneapolis is rolling then so does Orlando on the north and NW suburb sides. Even Houston suburbs have some roll in the North, NW, and far SW sides. I'd guess though that Minny has larger hills than the other two, and it also has them a little closer to the central city.
Yeah that's true with Orlando. Always talk about that on the turnpike going towards Orlando. And those hills aren't little mounds or anything. Those are nice sized hills.

I was speaking cities proper, not metro areas. If we want to go metrowide, then the Twin Cities area is actually fairly to quite hilly, especially the southern suburbs in the Minnesota River Valley and the Eastern suburbs in the St. Croix Valley.
From Burnsville in the south metro, for instance, you can see both downtowns several hundred feet below you in the distance, 20 miles away.

St Paul is somewhat hilly too, especially along the river. Cathedral Hill, Daytons Bluff, and Payne Phalanx are all somewhat hilly
Denver is "mostly" flat, but it has neighborhoods on the west side that show higher elevation. Dallas, isn't exactly flat as a board, there are rolling hills, but generally is flat by western standards.
Yes, Denver's western suburbs can be hilly (Golden and Morrison come to mind). The city proper of Denver is flatter than Manhattan according to the Chamber of Commerce.

Yes, and east of Denver proper out to the newer-annexed city areas adjacent to DIA, I've hardly ever seen anything so depressingly flat & barren of trees!
My step sister in metro Denver laughs at how there's a sort of "ignore the ugliness" and it will go away factor at play for some Coloradoans as regards the vast and flat plains eastern sections of that state that the populated front range areas give way to.

Phoenix could have been included, because despite surrounding mountains, most of the metro is flat as a pancake, with elevation only changing by maybe 2-3 feet per land mile, which is not noticeable
