It's another ranking that has solidified the state capital as an amazing place to live.
Add another feather in the cap for Albany. The Financial Word recently ranked the top 11 places to live in New York, and Albany landed at #2 on their list (White Plains is #1 on the list).
So why such a high ranking for Albany? The Financial Word cited several factors that make Albany so desirable:
- Affordable housing

- And more!
Ya know, when you look at all those pros listed above, it does really make you appreciate everything Albany, and the Capital Region in general, has to offer.
