louisville-colorado-home-for-saleWhat makes a city or town a “best place to live”?

It varies so greatly from person to person and yet we see these types of lists all the time. Heck, FrontDoor.com is coming up with one too — stay tuned for it!

Not sure if Money Magazine’s new list of Best 100 Small Towns to Live will spur a homebuying spree in the named places, most of which are in middle America.

According to Money, these are the places that ranked highest in terms of factors we value, including a strong local economy, housing affordability, income, education and job growth.

The top spot went to Louisville, CO, which is where we found this 3,200-square-foot, 4-bed, 3.5-bath house listed for $469,500.

Here’s the top 10 and if Money’s list has you longing to move to these places, click on the link and browse homes for sale in that town:

1.  Louisville, CO
2.  Chanhassen, MN
3.  Papillion, NE
4.  Middleton, WI
5.  Milton, MA
6.  Warren, NJ
7.  Keller, TX
8.  Peachtree City, GA
9.  Lake St. Louis, MO
10.  Mukilteo, WA

Thanks for the post on this. We worked very hard with CNN/Money as we do every year to put together this data. Best Places is where it’s at when it comes to real estate. You may find that you identify with a town on this list and this starts you researching. Regardless of whether you buy in that town or not articles like this spawn interest and from that can result in home buying. I suspect that all the places on this list will get more attention from home buyers.
