Albany Named One of the Top Places To Live In US
We know Albany is great, and apparently the secret us out: US News and World Report has named Albany one of their top 100 places to live.
Albany did very well in the magazine's rankings, landing at #36 on the list! The ranking is based on quality of life and the job market. What are some of the things the article says lead to this ranking?
- A 'lively downtown'
- Albany's '...an old-world appeal' and low cost compared to other cities
- Our great buildings and architecture, including the Empire State Plaza
- Proximity to great recreation spots like the Berkshires and Finger lakes
We really do have it all here in the Capital Region. A great city vibe not only in Albany, but also in Troy and Schenectady, a solid job market, and plenty of beautiful nature spots nearby.
Life really is good in the Capital Region.
