U.S. News and World Report released their list of the best places to live in the U.S. for 2024-2025. They analyze 150 metro areas in the United States each year to find the best places to live. The report is based on the quality of life and the job market in each metro area, as well as the value of living there and people’s desire to live there.

Green Bay took the #1 spot last year. The publication cited Green Bay as being, “The perfect mix of big-city amenities complemented with a Midwestern, small-town feel.”

However, Green Bay was dethroned this year by Naples, Florida, which took the #1 spot for 2024-2025.

U.S. World and News Report stated, “The greater Naples area supplies pristine beaches, sprawling golf courses, and fine dining and shopping. Closer to the area’s rural interior, meanwhile, cattle graze and seasonal workers pick tomatoes in the fields around Immokalee, a farming community an hour’s drive outside of Naples.”
