These are the most livable cities in the US: Report
Arlington, Va., St. Louis, Mo., and Provo, Utah, are included on Curbed’s list of ‘intriguing alternatives to unaffordable coastal metros’
Instead of moving to a huge metropolitan area, you might consider heading to a more livable city.
On Tuesday, Curbed published a report called “Where to Live in 2020,” which included neighborhood guides for eight major cities: San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Boston, Austin and Atlanta.
The report also included a list of 10 “intriguing alternatives to unaffordable coastal metros” that the website found to be the best places to live.
IS SINGLE-FAMILY HOME OWNERSHIP UNDER ATTACK?
In order to find which cities should make the list of most livable, Curbed used criteria including walkability, park access, diversity, housing costs and job opportunities the website said.
The guide includes upcoming developments, “hot neighborhoods” and interesting sites for each city to give a bigger picture of each place on the list.
It also lists the population, median home price and median rent for a two-bedroom apartment in each city.
