No NC towns in Money's Top 100 Best Places to Live (Raleigh: move, suburbs)

[don6170]

I just scanned the list in the magazine, but didn't see a single NC town in Money's Top 100. This list is for places with 50k or less population, but given the magazine's fawning over Raleigh for a few years, I thought a suburb such as Apex, Garner, etc would have made the list.

Here is a link to the list on line

The listed towns seem to generally be small, stand-alone towns rather than towns that are suburbs of a larger area.

Maybe they needed a new demographic to sell magazines to?

Good, they can move somewhere else and leave 'God's Country' to those of us who got here first! ;-)

I don't mind too much. I still like it here!

I'm not leaving!

Raleigh is #4 on this list.

That's because the list is not really the best "places" to live. It clearly states in smaller print to the right that it's the best "small towns" to live.

I live in NJ and no way are S. Brunswick and Montville anything special. They are exactly the same as the surrounding towns.

I'll take your word for it. I don't know the towns at all. I was just clarifying what the list really is.
