Massachusetts is a great state which features many beautiful cities that one would be happy to call home. If you had to guess, what city in the Commonwealth would be ranked overall the best to live in?
I'm happy to report that, according to a recent study, the best city in Massachusetts to live in is also ranked among the Top 25 best places to live in America! The report, released by Niche, looked at several key factors to determine the rankings.
Those factors included everything from the quality of public schools, housing costs, nightlife and entertainment, quality of life for families, crime and safety, the overall cost of living, and much more.
The report concluded that a certain Massachusetts city was ranked as the 11th Best Place to Live in America.This particular city was given an overall grade of A+ by Niche!!!
At this point, you're probably saying to yourself, "OK, stop teasing us, Eric!"
