100 Best Places to Live

Kim Hankins (my wonderful Buyer Specialist) forwarded an article to me today and suggested that I share it in our blog. I'm taking her up on her suggestion. Best Life magazine took note of the fact that men (I dare say women as well) are faced with the reality of wanting to raise their children somewhere safe. The magazine evaluated 257 cities on such categories as student-teacher ratios, above-average test scores, and the number of museums, parks and pediatricians. Armed with data from the U.S. census bureau, the FBI, National Association for Education Statistics, National Center for Health Statistics and the American Bar Association, they placed Augusta in the top 100 at #85.

This comes on the heels of Martinez, GA being named #76 on Money magazine's list of Top 100 Best Places to Live 2007, and Evans, GA being named #32 on the same list for 2005.

Like I've always said, "Big town amenities together with small town charm make a winning combination!"
