FLORIDA — Nineteen towns in Florida are among the 250 best places to live, according to a new ranking from U.S. News & World Report that looks at value, desirability, job markets and the quality of life in U.S. cities.
This year, U.S. News expanded its data to evaluate more than 850 cities to publish the 250 best places, up from 150 in years prior. The new data considerations and the expansion of evaluated cities resulted in a new top 10 for the 2025-2026 year, with Johns Creek, Georgia, taking No. 1 due to its strong job market and desirability scores.
