Roswell named one of the best places to live

The City of Roswell was recently named as one of the best places to live in the United States by Money Magazine. Roswell was the only Georgia city to make the list. Roswell came in at number 76 out of 100 cities with populations between 50,000 and 300,000 residents. Roswell was also ranked number 24 on the list as one of the top-earning towns in the country with a median income of $113,750.

Roswell Mayor Jere Wood said he is pleased with the ranking but not surprised. “They got it right. Roswell does have some of the best public schools in the state, the lowest crime rate in the region, a family friendly environment, and great community events. It’s easy to understand why families flock to Roswell.”

Money Magazine wrote, “Historically rich Roswell is committed to a family-friendly environment. Residents love their many public events, including the monthly Alive After Five summer festival, with plenty of food, shopping and live music.”

In ranking cities for the top 100, Money Magazine used data on income, housing, education, quality of life, crime statistics, leisure and culture, the tax rate, and weather.
