Kiplinger’s ranks the best cities to live: “You told us your ideal city is fun, vibrant and affordable. We found dozens that fit the bill.”
Top five
- Nashville
- Minneapolis-St. Paul
- Albuquerque (“This laid-back city offers resort-town ambience, a boomtown economy and cow-town prices.”)
- Atlanta
- Austin
I’d say their information on Albuquerque home prices is a bit dated, but otherwise they’re right. Albuquerque is a smart place to live (unless you have kids in public school).
And, of course, as they say, “Unfortunately, no database could allow for another top priority: proximity to family.”
