Where is the Best Place to Live in America?

Businessweek.com constructed a list of best cities in America based on series of analysis with the data obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Sperling’s BestPlaces, GreatSchools, Onboard Informatics, RealtyTrac, Bloomberg, and the Trust for Public Land. The research scope is limited within America’s 100 largest cities.

Some might consider big cities such as New York or Los Angeles to be on the top of the list. The answer, however, showed otherwise. The best cities were selected based on a series of factors ranging from air quality, crime rates, education systems, and all the way to restaurants per capita. So what are the top five places to live in America?
