If you want to live a long life, look no further than Marin County as the perfect place to call home. Money Magazine just ranked Marin County the 7th best place to live a long life.
Money Magazine looked at life expectancy rates in all U.S. counties, and ranked the top 25. The life expectancy at birth for Marin residents is 80.82 years.
For those of us who live here, this news comes as no great surprise (though it's still nice to hear!) There are countless opportunities to stay active in the great outdoors, with beautiful Muir Woods, the Point Reyes National Seashore and hundreds of hiking trails.
We also have clean air. In fact, earlier this year, the city of Novato earned an impressive distinction: having the best air quality among all small U.S. towns. Neighboring San Rafael ranked #2. (Source: Money Magazine Best Places to Live 2008)
