Every year around this time, Relocate America comes out with their top 100 list of the best places to live. This year Chattanooga, Tennessee, yes our great Scenic City, was chosen third, only behind Charlotte, NC (1) and San Antonio, TX (2). Notably, this is the only list that bases their decision on statistical data and feedback from the people who live, work and play in each communitiy.
Throughout the calendar year, Relocate America accepts nominations for cities and towns throughout the country to be considered as a “great place to live”. The nominating parties must include their own reasons why they feel their city should make the list. The nominations, along with key data regarding education, employment, economy, crime, parks, recreation and housing are reviewed, rated and judged by an editorial team. Special consideration is taken on the Top 10 Cities as they are listed in a ranked order of America’s Top 10 Places to Live.
To those of us whom have chosen to move to the “Scenic City,” this is no surprise to us. Chattanooga has everything a large city has, just on a smaller scale. A beautiful downtown area, minutes from the mountains, great biking trails and a wonderful arts community, among other great options.
The rankings were as follows:
Top 10 Cities
1. Charlotte, NC

4. Greenville, SC
5. Tulsa, OK
6. Stevens Point, WI

8. Albuquerque, NM
9. Huntsville, AL
10. Seattle, WA
We hope you will read the article on the Top 100 Cities and consider a move to the Scenic City where you will find great views, fun people and outstanding home values. We’ll even invite you over for a real “home cooked” dinner.
This is a neat report - Congratulations! Too bad Denver isn’t on the list, we have a pretty great city too.
David,
Congratulations on making the top 5, that’s quite an accomplishment. It’s always interesting when other people find your home town as satisfying as you do.
