Asheville has recently been named Relocate America's number one spot to live in the country. 2007 marks the tenth year compiling this list of the best places to live in the United States. This is the only list that is determined by statistics and feedback of the people who live, work & play in these communities.
Throughout the calendar year, Relocate America accepts nominations for cities and towns throughout the country to be considered as a "great place to live". The nominating parties must include their own reasons why they feel their city should make the list. The nominations, along with key data regarding education, employment, economy, crime, parks, recreation and housing are reviewed, rated & judged by our editorial team.
