I think they are little mixed up. Probably hybrids are the ones fit your bill.
You probably don't need knobby fat tires, which most mountain bikes come with(like Specialized Hard Rock). You probably don't need suspension fork if you stay on smooth road paved or un-paved.
I liked the FX line of bike for the way you will be using your bike.
I recommend you look into,
Cannondale Bad Boy
Specialized Sirrus
