Best U.S. Small Cities To Live

By Real Estate Advisor

The topper of this year’s Money Magazine’s best places to live in 2007 was Middleton, Wisconsin. The focus of this year’s best cities to live was on small cities that have a population of 7,500 to 50,000 residents. The cities were chosen based on some of the top aspects that make a city a great place to be, such as economic opportunity, good schools, safe streets, things to do and a sense of community.

The cities were also ranked based on ethnic and racial diversity. Median home prices and average property taxes have also been taken into consideration this time around, which means, expensive locales that had scored well before have gone down in the listing.

Interested home buyers can view homes for sale in the best cities listings, including million-dollar homes as well as recent home sales. Each best city has links to city maps powered by http://Trulia.com, a real estate search engine. These feature real estate data on each home such as location, price, photos, number of bedrooms, etc.

The following are the ten best places to live in 2007, according to the Money Magazine.
