Kiplinger.com recently compiled a list of the top five cities to live in for mid-level professionals. The three most important criteria were average growth in creative-class wages, housing affordability and average commute time. Additionally, Kiplinger chose the following metro areas because they had a few common themes. These themes included a large “creative class” of scientists, architects, writers, artists and entertainers. Each area also demonstrated job growth and per capita income growth. Finally, tolerance and diversity were considered.
1. Kansas City, Missouri – Downtown Kansas City offers affordable and roomy housing. A wide variety of dining and bar options add to the cheerful atmosphere.
2. Boise, Idaho – Outdoor enthusiasts will flock to this scenic spot at the base of the Rocky Mountains. Local employment opportunities include careers in the agriculture, forest and mining industries as well as knowledge-based industries like information technology.
3. Portland, Maine – Nestled between the ocean and a mountain, Portland is another ideal city for lovers of the outdoors. The area serves as a popular relocation destination for people from larger east coast cities and offers numerous career opportunities.
4. Huntsville, Alabama – With a booming economy, Huntsville offers many opportunities for career advancement. The technology, aerospace and defense industries are especially dominant. NASA has a Flight Center here, and the Army has Redstone Arsenal, both of which aid in boosting area opportunities.
5. Fayetteville, North Carolina – Local charm abounds in this Southern town. Plentiful employment opportunities exist due to the close proximity of Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base.
