The Best Place to Live in America

After considering all of that, Money magazine has named Chanhassen, Minnesota as the best place to live in America. Chanhassen, located southwest of the Twin Cities, is home to Prince's Paisley Park, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, the Chanhassen Dinner Theater, and the Twin Cities' office of the National Weather Service.

Chanhassen was ranked as the second best place to live in America by Money magazine in 2009, and fourth among best places to live among small towns in 2013.

Money magazine added:

About half of residents work outside of Chan (as it’s known), but the number of jobs in the city is about equal with the number of residents; the unemployment rate was just 3.6% in June (at the time, Minnesota’s unemployment rate was 4%).

Money has compiled the annual list of 50 'Best Places to Live in America' every year since 1987.
