Three Colorado cities along the Front Range ranked in the top 25 in U.S. News and World Report’s annual “Best Places to Live” report on the 150 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S.
U.S. News and World Report’s annual “Best Places to Live” reportBoulder’s “blissed-out” vibe, endless outdoor recreation nearby and many wellness and alternative healthcare opportunities earned the city the No. 4 spot on the list, which also puts it as the No. 1 best place to live in Colorado, according to the report.
“This blissed-out enclave attracts young professionals, families, academics, scientists, transplants from both coasts, old guards who insist it was way cooler in the 1970s, and, above all, lovers of outdoor recreation,” the report states. “Trail runners, hikers, climbers, cyclists and more move here to live in this perpetual playground, where the answer to ‘What do you do?’ is often one’s activity of choice, not occupation.”The next Colorado city also broke the list’s top 10.
“I am proud that once again we are listed as one of the top ten Best Places to Live,” Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said in the release. “U.S. News and World Report realizes what a treasure the City of Colorado Springs is and all we have to offer our residents, current and future. It is a credit to all those in our community who continue to work to make General Palmer’s vision, set forward more than 150 years ago, a reality.
U.S. News cites the city’s economically diverse sections as part of its appeal: “the booming suburbs in the north and east; the bustling yet easily navigated downtown; the elegant, rustic south side defined by Cheyenne Cañon and the century-old Broadmoor hotel; and the west side, occupied by eateries and shops in what was the old Victorian center of the 1890s gold rush.”
