Money Magazine’s Best Places to Live 2024: Explore America’s Hidden Gems and Thriving Communities
Discover Money Magazine’s Best Places to Live 2024 and uncover America’s hidden gems and thriving communities.
Money Magazine’s Best Places to Live 2024 list is out, and it’s bigger and better than ever before. With the help of ADT, the number one smart home security provider in the U.S., Money has curated a list of communities that are creating outstanding lives for their residents. These hidden gems showcase the best that America has to offer and provide models for how communities can come together to create lasting impacts.
This year’s list features five exciting new categories. First up, we have “Suburbs with a Soul.” These suburbs not only offer the comfort and convenience of traditional suburban living but also boast a vibrant community spirit, with plenty of cultural, artistic, and historical depth.
Next on the list are the “New Boomtowns.” These areas are undergoing rapid transformation, experiencing economic and population growth like never before. They are the new frontiers of innovation, offering plentiful job opportunities and making a name for themselves on the economic map.
For those seeking a rich cultural experience, the “Culture Hubs” category is sure to impress. These cities are renowned for their cultural landscapes, featuring museums, theaters, music venues, and diverse culinary scenes that attract artists and culture enthusiasts from all walks of life.
But the list doesn’t stop there. Money recognizes that college towns are not just defined by their academic institutions. The category “Not Just College Towns” highlights towns that offer a dynamic living experience beyond their universities, with cutting-edge research, thriving local economies, and vibrant social scenes.
Last but certainly not least, Money unveils the “Best Kept Secrets” category. These hidden gems may fly under the radar, but they offer an unmatched quality of life with their serene beauty, close-knit communities, and affordable living options.
To determine which towns made the list, Money assessed various factors. Economic opportunity for individuals was a key consideration, including job availability, upward mobility, and income growth potential. The health and success of small businesses were also analyzed, reflecting the community’s support for entrepreneurship and innovation. Government policies that favor growth, such as tax incentives and investment in infrastructure, played a role in determining the economic development of these communities. And of course, the safety and well-being of residents were given top priority.
ADT, the partner for this year’s list, understands the importance of safety and security in these communities. They work closely with local governments and residents to ensure that people feel safe in their homes and businesses. ADT’s analysis found that some of the safest towns in the country made it onto Money’s Best Places to Live list.
