Your Most Desirable City to Relocate To (In America)

[Daniel]

I don't know if any of you have ever run across Sperling's Best Places website:  http://www.bestplaces.net

It's a great website where you can obtain neighborhood profiles by zipcode and compare cities as well (they only feature American cities and metropolitan areas).

There's a nifty little city chooser which tells you what would be your top 30 cities to live in within the United States, based on your importance of certain criteria (such as school, arts, traffic, crime, affordable housing, climate, jobs, etc.).

Try it yourself and share your results... and also say if the results you get agree with how you actually feel:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are my top 10 metropolitan areas according to the website based on selection criteria I entered:

1  San Francisco, CA
2  Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA
3  Long Island, NY
4  Boston, MA-NH-ME
5  San Diego, CA
6  Orange County, CA
7  San Jose, CA
8  Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA
9  Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV
10  Monmouth-Ocean, NJ

Not surprisingly, 5 of the 10 areas are in CA!    I'd personally have put Orange County first, Los Angeles second and San Diego third.

 5. jacksonville, fl
 6. boulder, co

Don't feel left out. Have you ever been to the USA? Why don't you start your own topic about cities overseas?

I have been, many times  

[Gingernut]

I have the same feeling as Scott, his wording was inappropriate "Your Most Desirable City to Relocate To" should have been the topic and he should have then gave his website with the heading Here are some in America

jamie.

Exaaaactly.

[BWilli]

why does someone always have to make a big deal about something around here...

"In America" was put in the title, because the website given is for U.S cities...no need to feel left out....no need to say this is lame thread...if anything you should blame Sperling for not including European, Asian, etc. cities   :wink:
