Did you see the newspaper last week that said that Rochester is ranked #1 in the nation to purchase a home? Forbes magazine did the ranking based on the following factors: colleges and universities, the affordability of housing, the unemployment pictures compared to other parts of the nation, and the quality of local schools.
The last three years - the cities to ranked #1 were Houston, Denver and Boston.
The next three in this year's list?
- #2 - Pittsburgh
- #3 - Utica, NY
- #4 - Oklahoma City
I love living in Rochester - even with all of you who complain about the weather... and with you who will immediately think of the reasons Rochester SHOULDN'T be rated #1. :)
