Vienna Ranked #1 Best Small Town in America by Real Estate Blog

Vienna was recently named the #1 Best Small Town by Movoto real estate blog.

“We love our big cities, sure, but we know there’s a certain elegance, charm, and “homeyness” to be found in the smaller places in America,” Movoto noted when they announced their picks.

Those top towns were:

1. Vienna, Va.
2. Palm Beach, Fla.
3. Bridgewater, Va.
4. Boonton, N.J.
5. Jackson, WY
6. Zionsville, IN
7. Estes Park, Colo.
8. Purcellville, Va.
9. Ashland, Va.
10. Fort Myers Beach, Fla.

In all, Virginia picked up four of the top 10 spots on the top 10 list.

Here’s what Movoto had to say about Vienna:

“Is it any surprise that Money Magazine ranked this place as the third best spot to live in America? It’s certainly the best as far as towns are concerned, that’s for sure. But if you’re looking for some further proof, you really don’t have to look far.

While most of this town’s scores were in the top 70, there were a few standouts. The fourth most amenities per capita and the second-best quality of life definitely speak to this place being a little more fun and stress-free than other on our list.

The big stat here, however, was the lowest unemployment rate on our list at a measly 3.6 percent. Of course, the low crime and good weather certainly were a plus, too.

If you’re not convinced that this is simply the place to be, head over to the Plaka Grill for some of the best gyros you’ve probably ever had. That just might change your mind about small-town living.”
