Money magazine recently released this year’s list of ‘Best Places To Live 2014’. A couple of Michigan cities made the top 50.
At number 9, Rochester Hills. Money calls it a “bucolic” place and cites the low unemployment rate (4.9% compared to the Countywide 8.1%), it’s affordable homes, and the home appreciation rate.
Ann Arbor came in at number 43. Mentioned of course, was the University of Michigan, the city’s historic neighborhoods, and its many restaurants. Zingerman’s Delicatessen was specifically mentioned. Book stores, art venues and cinemas were noted, too.
The report evaluated over 700 cities with a population between 50,000 and 300,000 and ranked them by using over 50 different characteristics.
Interestingly, Ann Arbor also made the top 10 (at Number 6) for Money Magazine’s 10 Best Cities for an Active Retirement.
It’s a bit of a drive from Livingston County to Rochester Hills, but if you’re in the Howell-Pinckney-Brighton area it’s under 30 minutes to Ann Arbor.
