The 10 Best Cities To Live In The United States, 2018 Ranking

Thanks to its relatively low cost of living compared with its booming job market and higher incomes, Dallas suburb Frisco, Texas has become the best city to live in the U.S. for 2018, according to Money Magazine’s annual best places to live list.

Amazingly, many of the best cities to live in America are probably places you’ve never heard of.

Ashburn, Virginia, ranked No. 2; followed by Carmel (Indiana), No. 3; Ellicott City (Maryland), No. 4; and Cary (North Carolina), No. 5. The magazine considers a long list of criteria in ranking its best places to live list, with the greatest weight on cost of living, crime, diversity, economic health, housing, local amenities, public schools, and other factors.

Highlands Ranch, Colorado, is the eighth best place to live in the country, behind Franklin, Tennessee, at #6 and Dublin, California, at #7.
