With our highly-educated population, wealth of recreational opportunities, authentic small town ambiance, high-tech acumen, and real estate prices a fraction of Boulders, it is no surprise that Money Magazinevoted Louisville the 5th Best Place to Live in their 2005 survey. We believe the only surprise is that we were not #1.
And speaking of #1, nine months after being voted the 5th best place in the country to live by Money Magazine, Louisville was selected as the #1 place in the country to raise children by a pair of nationally recognized researchers.
Bert Sperling and Peter Sander, authors of Best Places to Raise Your Family: The Top 100 Affordable Communities in the U.S. (Frommer's, $24.99), put Louisville at the top of their list.
"It's how the pieces of the puzzle all fit together," Sander says. "The area has a great combination of setting, education, housing, local employment, comfortable climate and community feel."
Specifically, Louisville came out on top in the book's major categories: demographics, standard of living, education, lifestyle, health and safety. But "a place is much more than just statistics," Sperling says. "You can have good feelings about a place, as we did." |
