美国最适合居住的十大地方2012 年美国最适合居住的地方包括,最好的工作机会、财政力量、一流的学校、最安全的街道、最好的医疗设备、文化和户外活动和最适宜的天气。有如下 10 个地方:No. 1 - Louisville, CO 路易斯维尔 科罗拉多州Population: 18,400Unemployment: 6.3%This sunny, lively mountain town is safe (crime rates are among the lowest in Colorado) and easy to navigate. Lots of good jobs in tech, telecom, aerospace, clean energy, and health care can be found right in Louisville, and more are on their way. And theres world-class mountain biking, hiking, and skiing in the nearby Rockies. Real estate prices have barely budged since 2005, yet a typical three-bedroom house here still runs less than a comparable one in nearby Boulder. Its schools consistently rank among the top three academically in the Denver area.No. 2 - Milton, MA 米尔顿 马赛诸塞州Population: 27,000Unemployment: 6.6%Milton is just minutes from the jobs and culture of Boston but feels in places like a country getaway. Tree-lined streets are dotted with historic homes. Single-family home prices have remained essentially unchanged since the markets peak in 2005. One major reason for this stability is the outstanding school system, which boasts six brand-new buildings and offers such rich opportunities as a French immersion program that begins in elementary school. The downside: high taxes.No. 3 - Solon, OH 索伦 俄亥俄州Population: 23,300Unemployment: 8.2%Solon is a small town with a large tax base: Major employers include Nestle, LOreal, and industrial equipment maker Swagelok. Solon punches above its weight in other areas too. Health care? The world-renowned Clevelend Clinic has a family health center here. Culture? Solon has its own philharmonic orchestra. Schools? Solon was the highest-achieving district in Ohio last year. And the student body is diverse: 11% of residents are black, 10% Asian.No. 4 - Leesburg, VA 里斯堡 弗吉尼亚州Population: 42,600Unemployment: 4.1%Leesburg, which snuggles up to the Virginia-Maryland border, offers proximity to plenty of good jobs not just in government but also in defense contracting, consulting, and technology. True, commutes can be abysmal. But residents say that the tradeoff to live in this pretty town, which has seen more history than a Ken Burns film, is worth it. Many antebellum red-brick buildings still stand, now filled with restaurants and art galleries. On the negative side, there are some run-down neighborhoods.No. 5 -Papillion, NE 派坡列 内布拉斯加州Population: 18,900Unemployment: 4.2%Nebraska, sexy? Youd better believe it. With agriculture booming, towns here are showing employment and housing-market strength thats the envy of the coasts.Papillion is no exception; its economy benefits from a broad base of industries, including health care and transportation, in nearby Omaha.In June, energy company Black Hills Corp. moved its local headquarters and 130 jobs here. There are also excellent schools, a five-month-old AAA baseball stadium, a new retail and restaurant complex, and loads of green space。No. 6 - Hanover, NH 汉诺威, 新罕布什尔州Population: 8,600Unemployment: 4.4%Dartmouth College, located in this hamlet near the White Mountains, gives Hanover an economic, social, and cultural advantage rare in towns so far from major urban centers. Unemployment in town is about half the statewide average (Dartmouth and its top-rated medical center provide over 12,000 jobs). Graduate programs spin out entrepreneurial start-ups in almost every industry. Housing which ranges from century-old Victorians to new construction isnt cheap, however. And students account for some fraternity-style rowdiness。No. 7 - Liberty, MO 自由城,密苏里州Population: 29,100Unemployment: 7.6%Known to tourists as the town where Jesse James gang staged its first daytime bank robbery-and where Mormon prophet Joseph Smith languished in jail before fleeing west-Liberty today is a charming place with a quick commute to Kansas Citys mix of jobs in telecom, engineering, and life sciences. The school district is consistently ranked as one of Missouris best; student musicians play in a new state-of-the-art facility, and budding broadcast journalists have their own public-access channel. William Jewell College, with its lovely hilltop campus overlooking Liberty, lets residents take advantage of many cultural offerings。No. 8 - Middleton, WI 密德尔顿,威斯康星州Population: 17,400Unemployment: 5.1%Middleton is right next to state capitol Madison and boasts 17,000 jobs right in town (employers include pharmaceutical company PPD and Electronic Theater Controls, the worlds biggest theater lighting company). Its walkable downtown has plenty of good restaurants, shops, and quirky attractions (National Mustard Museum, anyone?). Even its developments are cool: a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired mixed-use project thoughtfully blends homes and businesses. And Middleton offers residents lots of parks and trails including a new free splash park.No. 9 - Mukilteo, WA 华盛顿州Population: 20,300Unemployment: 8.2%As West Coast towns go, Mukilteo (pronounced MUCK-ill-TEE-oh) is in good ec
