Naples, Florida, has once again secured the top spot as the best place to live in the United States, according to U.S. News & World Report. The city’s strong desirability, job market scores, and moderately high quality of life have contributed to its consistent ranking at the top of the list.
Residents of Naples enjoy the sunshine almost every day and have access to a wide variety of live performing arts groups throughout the year. Additionally, Naples has gained recognition as the Pickleball Capital of the World, hosting the U.S. Open Pickleball Championships in April.
While Naples claimed the top spot, other Florida cities also made the list of the best places to live in the U.S. Sarasota ranked at No. 11, followed by Pensacola, Fort Myers, Melbourne, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tallahassee, Ocala, Lakeland, Port St. Lucie, Daytona Beach, and Miami.
The rankings by U.S. News & World Report take into account factors such as quality of life, value, job market, and desirability. Data from various sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau, FBI, and Bureau of Labor Statistics, are used to determine the rankings.
Despite not making the top spot for fastest-growing cities, Naples continues to be a desirable place to live and has consistently ranked high in recent years. With its beautiful weather, quality of life, and vibrant arts scene, Naples remains a top choice for those looking to settle down in a welcoming and thriving community.
