Brookline No. 21 on Money Magazine's 'Best Places to Live 2014'

Brookline is one of the best places to live in the country, according to a new survey.

Money Magazine ranked Brookline No. 21 on its “Best Places to Live 2014” list.

Money Magazine cited the town’s boutiques, restaurants, parks, and high-quality schools.

A downside, the magazine said, is the lack of affordable housing, as a condo can run $500,000.

The list included the following statistics for Brookline:

• Median family income: $156,042
• Median home price: $615,000
• Average property taxes: $9,165
• Job growth: 2.6 percent

McKinney, Texas topped Money Magazine’s list. Newton was the only other Massachusetts community to make the top 50.
