Three Minnesota Towns On Best Places To Live List
25 of the Best Places to Live in the Midwest According to Livability.com
Have you ever just wanted to pack up and move to a town that is a little bit better than where you currently are living? I've had that thought, many times, especially when the snow and wind are hurting my face. If you've wanted to stay around the midwest, I'll make your picks a bit easier because Livability.com just released their top 25 best places to live list...and there are several spots in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois that made the list!
Before we jump in and reveal the top 25 places, the towns were picked as the best based on 50 data points and Livability.com has stated that "each of these cities has something special to offer". See the full report at livability.com.

Rochester, Minnesota is #3 Best Place to Live in the Midwest
I know a lot of people complain about the Med City but apparently, we are living in a pretty good place. The road construction is a bit on the ridiculous side, but we also have some of the best roads in any town that I've lived in...and all of those towns are in the midwest and didn't show up on this top 25 list.
I must say, as an Iowa State University alumni, seeing Iowa City, Iowa as a top 25 contender did make my heart break a little bit. I honestly had a tough time just typing the name of the town...it hurts that much and my fingers just wanted to type Ames, Iowa instead because...well...it is better.
