Go, Milpitas! No. 29 'Best Place To Live' In USA

Money magazine’s 2014 Best Places To Live ranked Milpitas as No. 29 among the nation’s top small towns with populations between 50,000 and 300,000!

Along with scoring points for its proximity to San Jose, the Silicon Valley and San Francisco, Milpitas earned the following kudos from the magazine’s staff:

“Close ties to Silicon Valley have given rise to terrific schools. Milpitas High School, for one, is a California Distinguished School, and has taken top honors in everything from band and theater to sports and speech. There are also plenty of recreation options, including the 1,500-acre Ed R. Levin County Park. This local favorite is home to Monument Peak, as well as a network of trails that link into other parks and non-motorized thoroughfares, including 340-mile Bay Area Ridge Trail.”

And, by the way, McKinney, Texas came in first place, and from the Bay area, Pleasanton was No. 31.
