A recent study done by Money.com showed that Tampa is ranked in the top 10 places to live in America. Tampa has it all: Great weather, awesome sports teams, stunning beaches, amazing restaurants. We’ve seen Champa Bay on these lists before, so it’s no wonder why Tampa ranked so high in the 50 best places to live in the U.S.
So what makes a city so great? Well Money.com focused on these nine factors:
- Cost of living
- Diversity
- Economic opportunities
- Education
- Amenities and activities
- Health and safety
- Housing market
- Income
- Quality of life
Tampa wasn’t the only Florida city to make the list, but it was the only Florida city in the top 10. Altamonte Springs, an Orlando suburb ranked at number 33. Ten spots behind it was Sarasota at number 43. Here are the top 10 places to live in the U.S.
