Colorado Has Three of the Best Places to Live
These three Colorado towns were among the best in a recent article on the website time.com.
This long intensive study broke down nearly 60 different factors to create their list of 50 of the best places in America to live. They took into account such factors as health care, education, affordable homes, solid work force, education and taxes to name just a handful.
Just outside of the top five is Highlands Ranch, Colo. Here's a small sample of their statistics:
Population 105,132
Median Home Price $410,000
Property Tax $2,466
Unemployment rate 3.4%
Commute time 26 minutes
The top five consist of
- Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey
- West Des Moines, Iowa
- Plano, Texas
- Eden Prarie, Minnesota
And Columbia, Maryland tops the list.
So, where is the other two Colorado cities on the list? First of all, it's Centennial at number 13.
Population 107,569
Median Home Price $374,500
Property Tax $2,368
Unemployment rate 3.8%
Commute time 24 minutes
Then Broomfield at number 25.
Population 63,676
Median Home Price $365,000
Property Tax $2,590
Unemployment rate 3.6%
Commute time 26 minutes
Unfortunately, no Western Slope communities were on the list. Maybe they were too tired to ride down the hill and visit.
