Overland Park one of "America's Top 100 Places to Live for 2010"Apr 23, 2010 Overland Park is the only Kansas city included in the 13th annual list of “America’s Top 100 Places to Live for 2010,” announced this week by RelocateAmerica.com, a website providing relocating consumers access to resources for their upcoming relocation.
To be considered for the list, a community is nominated. From the thousands of submissions, RelocateAmerica.com’s editorial team reviews the nominations and selects the Top 100 Places to Live, as well as the Top 10 for specific categories, based on interviews with local leaders; feedback from residents; and economic, environmental, education, crime, employment and housing data for the past year.
“Given the tough economic times our nation is facing, homebuyers have re-evaluated their priorities and are looking to relocate to communities that offer plenty of perks, but minimal hassle and cost,” said Peter Meyers, Vice President, Research and Content Development, at RelocateAmerica.com. “While some cities are facing a road to recovery that could take years, others are poised for a quick rebound – and already have seen growth. We wanted to highlight those cities that are on the road back to economic health.”
The “Top 100 Places to Live” list features several breakout categories such as the Top 10 Recovery Cities, Retirement Cities, ‘Earth Friendly’ Cities, Recreation Cities and Small Towns. New for this year, the Top 10 Recovery Cities focused on areas poised for swift economic recovery. Many of these communities did not see the massive real estate bubble that formed in other areas and have a more diverse economy.
