Sunset Magazine Announces the Best Places to Live in the West
Menlo Park (PRWEB) January 27, 2014 -- Introducing Sunset magazine’s list of the “Best Places to Live 2014” (p. 47). In the February issue, the magazine’s expert editors reveal their picks for the West’s top neighborhoods, towns, and cities in six categories: Best Place to Launch a Career, Best Place to Postpone a Career, Best Cosmopolitan Suburb, Best Urban Neighborhood, Best Place to Re-Boot Your Life and Career, and Best Post-Career Locale.
The winners for each category are:
• Best Place to Launch a Career – San Francisco
• Best Place to Postpone a Career – Honolulu
• Best Cosmopolitan Suburb – Issaquah, WA
• Best Urban Neighborhood – Sugar House, Salt Lake City
• Best Place to Re-Boot Your Life and Career – Bozeman, MT
• Best Place for Post-Career Freedom – Flagstaff, AZ
The categories were created based on results from questions about where Westerners would want to live at different points in their lives, from recent college grads, to young parents and empty nesters. In addition to declaring editors’ favorites, Sunset invited readers to vote for their own favorite places to live and work.
The roundup of “Best Places to Live” also features personal stories of the people who live in each of the winning cities, sharing what each day is like and how they are chasing their dreams while living in San Francisco, Honolulu, Issaquah, Sugar House, Bozeman, or Flagstaff. Various stats are also included for each city, such as: population, walkability score, median home price, median salary, and average commute time to nearest big city, to name a few. To top it all off, the editors pose three essential questions to consider before making the move to a Best Place to Live of 2014.
