Kansas City was recently named the best place to live in the U.S. according to LookyLocal. St. Louis also made the list, ranking at No. 10.
“A big plus about Kansas City is that families are particularly attracted to the city due to its popular child-friendly venues and events,” LookyLocal stated. “Kansas City offers many activities and attractions for visitors of all ages and possible interests.”
LookyLocal collected data from local communities across the country to find out what cities are the most loved in the U.S. Over the past year, more than 2,000 cities were nominated, and the top 15 list represents the top three percent of communities in the U.S.
