This year Raleigh was named the 3rd best city in the WORLD to move to AND the 2nd most family-friendly city in the United States!
The list by Numbeo, for “The Top Cities in the World to Move to” considers many factors in Quality of Life when scoring each city those being: Purchasing Power, Safety Index, Health Care Index, Cost of Living Index, Property Price to Income Ratio, Traffic Commute Time Index, Pollution Index, and Climate Index.
The list from Homes.com ranks the US most family-friendly cities based off of school quality, park availability, cost of living, safety, childcare availability, and commute length.
If you’re wondering about Raleigh being the second easiest city to find a job, that comes from a 2016 list by money.com 😉 However, there are still many big companies moving to the area! One of the biggest being, Advanced Auto who is moving their corporate headquarters to Raleigh, bringing over 400 new jobs!! Another notable one is Wegmans grocery.
Raleigh and the surrounding areas are seeing so much growth. It’s amazing being a native to the area and seeing how much has changed in such a little amount of time. For example, nobody ever used to go to downtown Raleigh just to hang out. Now on a beautiful day, you can always find people down there and there are so many more events that go on there too! There’s an annual international festival, concerts, food truck rodeos, popup artisan markets, and much more!
So what’s stopping you, your friends, or family from moving here?!
