How much time did you spend on the site?.... did you check places to work or colleges, or any of the rest of the options?...
quick reader...
All of these lists should be taken with a grain of salt. What’s best for some people is worst for others. Naperville, Illinois wouldn’t make the top 1000 on my list.
One of the guys I used to sail with regularly was paying $12,000/yr in property taxes in Naperville too, and I am sure it was a fairly modest home. I was stunned when he told me. Naperville is a nice area, but I wouldn't afford to live there.What got me were the $12,000 per year property taxes on a regular Napierville house. No thank you.

Don't forget about the 1% tax for living or working in city limits.Kansas City. I'v lived in greater Portland OR, Seattle, Denver, Huntsville AL, Baltimore, Long Island, and New Orleans.
Suburbs that is.
Kansas City beats them all hands down.
heh heh heh - Why you say? Because that's where I'm at. Where you are at is where you are at - especially if you figure out what the long time locals are doing.
P.S. I forgot St Jo MO.
The best place for me to live is where I live right now. It may not be right for you, but it suits me just fine.
Frankly I was amazed to see the rating... It would have bee last on my list.
One word.....Texas!
Nothing wrong with Texas. I'm just waiting for a new city in the Hill Country to be named "New California."
Texas introduced great things to the U.S. culture--Chicken Fried Steak and Tex-Mex cuisine. It's a place where oil billionaires in Midland drive pickup trucks with Earl Tubb CD's playing on the sound system.
Texas is proof that a state large enough to be 4 states can get by with a state legislature that only meets every other year.
But seriously, blood is thicker than water, and many people live where they can be close to their children and grandchildren. Home is home, even if it's in a less than desirable place.
I'm just thankful that my relatives relocated from Rutherford, NJ to Central KY and moved south about the time the Indians left in 1800. And I'm thankful my two home states have had a "hands off" approach to governing and very low taxation.
