One Michigan Town Makes 50 Best Places to Live in the U.S. List
Michigan is a great place to live, and now, one town in the Mitten has been named one of the best in America.
Each year, Money.com releases it ranking of the 50 Best Places to Live in the U.S. “We look at the things that matter most to people: economic opportunities, quality of life, diversity, and where the best futures lie,” they state.
So, which Michigan town made the cut? Ann Arbor came in at No. 24 on the list. “Dismissing Ann Arbor as just another college town would do this southeast Michigan city — often called Tree Town — a huge disservice,” they state. “Sure, University of Michigan game days have the town bustling, but for the 121,000 residents that live here, cheering on the Wolverines at The Big House (or at a nearby sports bar) is just a fraction of what Ann Arbor has to offer.”
They add, “There’s also a flourishing arts scene, a growing number of breweries and wineries, a year-round farmers market and an active downtown full of locally-owned shops and restaurants. If you head to the downtown district, make sure to locate all the tiny ‘fairy doors’ business owners have hidden throughout the area. (And open them, too! Each one reveals a unique fairy ‘home’ to explore.) Ann Arbor also boasts the top hospital in the state and claims the second-highest educational score on our list. U-M has something to do with that, but Ann Arbor’s public schools are highly rated, too.” For the full story on the 50 Best Places to Live in the U.S., go here.
