Coldwell Banker is kicking off a five-part Best Places to Live series, which ranks cities on various lifestyle categories, such as best cities for social seekers, suburbanites, adventurers, and more.
“As our previous research shows, Americans believe that their home is a reflection of their identity and that clearly goes beyond the property line and into the communities where they live,” says Budge Huskey, CEO of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. “By ranking the best places to live by lifestyle interests and personalities, we’re able to get to the heart of what makes individual cities and towns so special.”
For its first survey, Coldwell Banker lists the top spots for “social seekers,” that is the perfect places “for the hip, trendy and fun at heart — those who would rather go out than stay home any night of the week.” To compile its list, Coldwell Banker factored in access to public transportation, number of bars and restaurants, nightlife, and entertainment.
According to the survey, the top 10 places for social seekers are:
- Manhattan, N.Y.
- San Francisco
- Chicago
- Los Angeles
- Seattle, Wash.
- Brookline, Mass.
- Arlington, Va.
- San Diego
- Portland, Ore.
- Mountain View, Calif.
