The standout here is a Pale Garden, a rare biome that sits only about 202 blocks from spawn, so you can reach it on your first expedition. Spawn itself is on a Grove at y=129, with Dark Forest and Meadow both about 64 blocks away. A Ruined Portal lies about 79 blocks to the south-east, and an Ancient City waits about 369 blocks to the north-east for the deeper trip.
