The Money Magazine list of Best Places to Live is compiled in a months-long process that begins with 781 cities with populations of 50,000 to 300,000, and is trimmed down to just 50 cities. The final list is based on data such as education, crime rate, economic factors, cultural arts and recreation, and quality of life.

“Our primary goal as a city has always been to provide the highest quality of life for our residents and our workers,” according to Pleasanton City Manager Nelson Fialho. “It is very rewarding to see Pleasanton and its schools recognized as among the best in the nation.”
