Money magazine has produced a list 100 of America's best small cities, and Massachusetts has three municipalities on the list.
Money looked at jobs/economy, safety, education, housing affordability, and leisure arts.
Newton, MA (population 82,800) came in at number 49 (clearly not due to affordability); Waltham, MA (population 59,400) placed in the 72nd spot; Brookline, MA (population 59,600) finished at number 87 (again, clearly not due to affordability) on the list.
West Hartford, CT (population 65,100), at number 76, was the only other New England city to make the top 100.
Plymouth MN topped the list. Fort Collins, CO; Naperville, IL; Irvine, CA; Franklin Township, NJ; Norman, OK; Round Rock, TX; Columbia/Ellicot City, MD; Overland Park, KS; and Fishers, IN rounded out the top 10.
