Top 10 Best Cities to Live in the USA in 2019 - Live, Retire and Raise a family

Americans are mobile people. In fact, the U.S. Census reports that about one in six Americans move each year.
Though most moves are local, nearly one-sixth of all people who move change states.
Finding the home that is right for you largely comes down to personal preferences,
and the cities in this country have such varying characteristics that it can be a daunting task to narrow your search down to just one.
However, taking a broad view of the cities and investigating the characteristics that will affect your life on a daily basis can help you narrow it down.
When deciding where to put down roots, many factors are in the eye of the beholder, such as climate, politics, or proximity to extended family.
Other aspects are coveted by nearly everybody: affordable housing, access to well-paying jobs, a low cost of living, good schools, and quality healthcare.
Below, check out the top 10 most livable cities of 2019 and why residents love living there:
1. Denver, Colorado. (Best place for young professionals, finding a job)
2. Austin, Texas.
3. Arlington, Virginia. (best for raising a family)
4. San Diego, California.
5. Scottsdale, Arizona. (best city to retire in America)
6. Seattle, Washington.
7. Portland, Oregon.
8. Ann Arbor, Michigan. (best for raising a family)

Continue your Boston tour with a stop at Faneuil Hall, which has served as a marketplace since 1742, and check out a variety of shops and street performers.

No trip to Boston is complete without paying homage at Fenway Park, where the Red Sox have held court for over a century. Don’t forget to fuel up with food afterward; Boston boasts a variety of restaurants, ranging from fresh seafood to classic Italian and everything in between.

Lake Tahoe Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia (4K)

Filled with over 39 trillion gallons of pure Sierra snowmelt and pushed a mile into the Californian and Nevada skies, Lake Tahoe is the USA’s largest alpine lake and one of the country’s oldest, year-round vacation playgrounds.

Lake Tahoe has forever drawn travellers to its shores, from the Native Americans who call this place Big Water, to the trappers, timber cutters and pioneers who followed.

When you’re ready for a little alpine magic, take the four-hour drive from San Francisco to the sunlit shores of Kings Beach. Set on Tahoe’s northern end, this beach was named after local card shark, Joe King, who used his winnings to develop some of the lake’s earliest lodgings. On the lake’s southern shore, is Pope Beach, where you’ll find another Tahoe institution, Camp Richardson.

From Pope Beach follow the bike path to the Taylor Creek Visitor Center. An open-air classroom for the entire family, the center features fabulous interpretative walks such as the Rainbow Trail.

Nearby, at DL Bliss State Park, follow the spectacular Rubicon Trail into neighboring Emerald Bay State Park. This park is home to the Eagle Falls Trail, a moderate two-mile hike that takes in some of the Sierra high country’s finest views.

When the ponderosa pines bend with the season’s first snow, Tahoe transforms into the nation’s favorite winter playground. Whether you’re looking for snow-capped peaks or crystal clear coves, places to bond with loved ones or pockets of pure solitude, The Lake in the Sky has it all.
