The Contenders

11 Denver Denver

After living in Austin and Boston I am very happy to have moved to Denver. (Though I think those other two cities are great) Denver has fabulous weather, not to hot or cold, but still has 4 seasons with constant sunshine, and people are quite friendly. The city has done a good job preserving historic areas, while also promoting new development with smart planning. I love having the mountains as a back drop and play area, and the city offers plenty of fun and cultural things to do. Don't sleep on Denver, there is a reason over 50% of the population was born out of state.

Denver is not as large as the leaders on this list, and I wouldn't put it very high on a tourist city list, but Denver is absolutely on of the best cities to live in. Denver is exceptionally clean and modern and its downtown is incredible. I have been to most cities in the country so I know what I am talking about. If you haven't been to Denver in a few years you will be surprised. Denver is absolutely booming right now.

I live in Kansas near colorado. I have been to Denver 27+ times in my lifetime. I have been all around Denver. The city is very diverse, clean, so much construction (its growing fast), great hospitals, nice people (i've talked to a lot of people there), interesting weather, not too hot/cold, lots of nightlife, beautiful homes, however the traffic can be a pain, but there's a lot of good things this city has to offer.

Great City

12 Orlando

Loads of fun, with their numerous theme parks. Absolutely loved Disney World!

Orlando used to be rank 4 on based on where people would live in the United States, enough said.

Orlando has great weather and tons of theme parks. Florida is the best state ever

I came to Orlando for a 2 week holiday and all I will say is it was the greatest holiday by far I have ever been on.

13 Atlanta

I love Atlanta Georgia because at night all the buildings are lit up and I love to shop in Atlanta. I also love how we have the largest aquarium in the United States.

I Love Atlanta it is a very pretty City Coca Cola Vote Atlanta or you gonna die

Atlanta is a great city! It might not be the best, but it's definitely better than the most expensive cities in the U.S, like Los Angeles or NYC city.

Atlanta is the best

14 Minneapolis

We live in the Minneapolis area and anyone who finds it boring here has only themselves to blame. Only New York and Chicago have more theaters than Minneapolis, that's a fact. We have professional sports year round, the Wild is actually pretty good and the Twins and Vikings are improving. There are lakes, hiking and biking trails, great night life, as well as a very active church community. There is the Minnesota Science Center, the Walker Art Center, all sorts of culture all over the place. And shopping? How does MALL OF AMERICA sound? The traffic can get congested but it usually moves pretty well, even at rush hour. And there are actually rural areas right within the Twin Cities metropolitan area. And yes, there is bad weather. You dress for it and enjoy it! The schools are well funded usually and we have a fantastic governor in Mark Dayton. The restaurants are awesome, and for an area of almost three million people, the Twin Cities are easy to get around in. And the winters have ...more

AWESOME! Although it does have quite the mosquito problem... And too much darn snow... And cold. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT! It has over 15,000 lakes, diverse population, nice cities, great ski/snowboard areas, amazing state fair, and did I mention LAKES?

Nice city, very underrated.

15 Tampa

Great city to explore with tons of sights to see and things to do. Love the beaches, aquarium, zoo, Busch Gardens, cool neighborhoods, and everything in between.

It is sad that it is lower then Detroit aka the worst city ever

I'm going on vacation there in two weeks - YOSHIA2121

It is above Detroit as of 10/30/2016

16 Portland, OR

Portland is the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon and the seat of Multnomah County. It is a major port in the Willamette Valley region of the Pacific Northwest, at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers.

Portland is by far one of the best cities, even if it is quaint in comparison to the larger markets. Everyone is welcome there and it's clean, it's damn clean!

One of the cities that have low crime rates. Air quality is good since Portland is big on being green. Good food and it has great microbreweries.

Best outside of the big 3 and seattle

Best city in america bitch

17 Houston

I'm not saying it's the best citys ever, but one of the best in the United States of america, and should be at least in the top 10.

Only voting so I can comment. As a resident of Houston, I greatly dislike it. I may have grown up here, but it's totally bland and the weather is just ugly, even when it's sunny. I'm surprised that this is higher than Austin (the REAL best city in Texas), Dallas, or even San Antonio..

I live in Houston! It has lots of museums, and is really pretty. Cool downtown area, especially the aquarium!

It seems like a very progressive city!

18 Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids is amazing, It's a nice size (200K POP) It has great food, and it doesn't get enough recognition/credit. Grand Rapids is Awesome!

This city shows signs Michigan is not a wasteland like some people say. No, the title of "Wasteland" would go to a city called Flint. Grand Rapids, however, holds ArtPrize, the world's biggest art competition, as well as being called the "Beer City of the US" for people who would have a little of that. That, as well as the beauty in the cities, and the surrounding Lakeshore cities (Holland and Grand Haven), ma, e Grand Rapids a great place. - Turkeyasylum

Great city, good size, very liveable, a lot to do, lake michigan just a half hour away. Cost of living is fantastic and raising a family here is great. definitely an ideal place to live a quality american life. Has the right/balanced amount of everything. Good people, safe place

I live here, and it's kind of hard to adjust if you're an Arab living in a city full of white people. I'm really not trying to be racist. - Vic21102

19 New Orleans

Truly a beautiful, one-of-a-kind American city. French architecture, beautiful music, tasty food and a hell of a lot of festivals makes New Orleans such a wonderful place.
Must be higher on this list!

I love New Orleans! Great food and architecture! If you come you have to go to Cafe du Monde and get beignets because they are delicious! We have such a great culture and great festivals. Plus it isn't illegal to drink on the streets! And if you come go to Bourbon street.

I wouldn't call it the best but that's just because if you take a wrong turn you might end up getting shot... I know this from personal experience.

20 Milwaukee

I'm proud to call Milwaukee my home. It's just an overall awesome city. Great beer drinking culture, awesome sports teams (Bucks, Brewers, Packers), also right on Lake Michigan. We get all 4 seasons including a nice warm summer and snowy winter for winter activities. There is a ton to do (Museums, Discovery world, Miller Park, Bradley Center, The Rave, Summerfest, Bradford Beach, Casinos, County Zoo, and so much much more). Their are also some nice universities including UW-Milwaukee and Marquette in the area. Not only that, but everyone who lives there is nice. Downtown is great, but the suburban neighborhoods are also really nice. I was born and raised in MKE and I swear I will never move!

The best place to get a good meal and a beer, and you can see some pretty good concerts and sports teams too. Good suburbs around it, too, and everyone is so nice (given we are so close to Canada)!

Milwaukee is the best city! I love being 30 minutes away from it, because it's a good distance from this great city! This city is my absolute favorite place to live!

Yup because Wisconsin is awesome. WISCONSIN IS THE BEST STATE EVER NO DOUBT!

21 Phoenix

Phoenix is a good place for a journey of heat. I like Phoenix from the landscape. Buildings from Downtown are not so tall but its Still nice.

Its awesome and not everyone is racist we have beautiful lanscapes and the people here are friendly I love Arizona we are one of the best places to live people say were bad bit were not and its just rumors and you really should not believe them until you know if there true or not

Phoenix is doing so much better now than in the past 2000s. and Phoenix is underrated compared to major big cities in the US, Convention Center oppened, Civic Center, Cityscape... We have a lot of stores and restaurants in Phoenix (even too much lol). Phoenix temperature is hot in summer, but nice in winter or autumn. Racism, are everywhere in the world and not everyone is racist in Phoenix you can meet someone really social and more more antisocial

Feels like a microwave there!

22 Honolulu

Has some of the best weather warm year round

It's better visited than to be living in. Don't visit when there are storms or you will have a bad time.

I want to live here so bad because it's so beautiful

23 Pittsburgh

I'm so happy to see the burgh so high up. Beautiful city, so much to do, nice people, very historic. Oh, and we have the Steelers. I was born here, raised here, and I plan to die here. Great place - ryanrimmel

One of the lowest crime rates in the country, quiet evrybody knows everybody, tight knit community, a peaceful city, which successfully changed with the times unlike most of the rust belt. - Bturlik

Pittsburgh is my favorite city. It is my home. It has amazing views, sports, food, people, shops, activities, schools, and much more! This city deserves to be in the top ten!

Pittsburgh > Philadelphia/Boston

24 Charlotte

Amazing city, and I bet by 2020 it will be in the top 10 most populated US cities. It is the 2nd fastest growing city in the USA (behind Austin), they have plenty of amazing attractions, including a great theme park named Carowinds, the NASCAR Hall of Fame, & the Bank of America Stadium. They are home to amazing sports teams including the famous Charlotte Hornets, Carolina Panthers, & the Charlotte Knights. They have a beautiful skyline, the people there are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and it also has amazing weather. It surprises me how many people have no idea this city even exists! It should be higher on this list.

Nice people good food lot to do beautiful scenery best city in north Carolina

Yep! Gotta love the Queen City! Best city in North Carolina! It's just as good as New York City! - ModernSpongeBobSucks

Most underrated big city

25 Dallas

I've just been there. It was so beautiful and lively! Although it's highly civilized, highly developed and industrialized, it's still lively with lively people, lively streets and lifestyles! It's never a boring city! It was the best city that I have travelled to!

Lovely city plenty of wonderful things to do around here also take a walk down town enjoy its beautiful modern architecture a very great place to live in too

I hate Dallas. Way too hot. Cowboys suck

Home to Ray's hardware the largest family owned gun store in America.

26 Baltimore

How is baltimore this far down! The harbors one of the best in the country and you can't get crabs anywhere better

Baltimore doesn't get enough credit. It's a great city, with a very diverse population. We have great food, friendly people (mostly) and many historic locations. Baltimore and Boston saved this country. The stereotypes about Baltimores crime are overused. I'm eleven, and I'm growing up in Baltimore. It's an amazing city.

This city is much better than New York. Needs to be #1

Baltimore, on par with New Orleans and Las Vegas, is one of the most unique cities.
Maryland is the best state!

27 Albuquerque

WHY IS ALBUQUERQUE 45! IT SHOULD BE IN THE TOP 20, IT'S A FUN CITY! There is a tramway there, a awesome balloon fiesta there that is held every October, and really nice freeways there.

A beautiful city. The largest city in New Mexico and has one of the funnest places there in the United States. - TopTenJackson

WHAT?!? 45! Come on people come live here in Albuquerque and in New Mexico! It is an amazing city and I mean it!

great

28 Las Vegas

Las Vegas, officially the City of Las Vegas and often known simply as Vegas, is the 28th-most populated city in the United States, the most populated city in the state of Nevada, and the county seat of Clark County.

Vegas is a great place to visit and live as well! Low cost of living, not super traffic compare to cities like LA, Step out of the strip and it is just like any other city, people living their normal lives, may not be the best among all but a great city to live in if you wanna stay away from the very populated cities.

Everyone has to understand the Vegas isn't just casinos, from Vegas, you can visit red Rock canyon, mount charleston, lake Mead, Hoover dam, Grand canyon just in a few hours drive! Or sometimes less than an hour drive! Vegas is the place to be!

Whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

I first visited Vegas when I was 2 years old. I returned when I was much older (at age 23) and I have been obsessed with Vegas ever since. I wanna return AGAIN!

29 Spokane, WA

I love this place!

30 Nashville

At least visit here, you'll love it

Elvis used to hang out there a lot y'know

Nashville is the best city to live in! It has diversity, good climate, and a wide array of fun things to do! Even if you don't move there, it's definitely worth visiting. I ❤️ Nashville!

31 Charleston

Is it referring to Charleston, South Carolina or Charleston, West Virginia. I assume the one in South Carolina.

Come on guys this city is beautiful

Such a beautiful and historical city!

Definitely should be in the top 5.

32 Cleveland

Cold but awesome fun you could got to Cleveland sports Indians Browns Cavaliers exciting hi sky buildings better than any city in Ohio

Some of the Midwest's tallest skyscrapers on the shore of Lake Erie. It doesn't get any better than that. - PeterG28

No place like the North Coast.

It has an ugly charm to it. Sure our skies are grey and our lakes our polluted, but it shows a character that no other city has. - hiphopgod

33 Las Cruces

Las Cruces is awesome! - TopTenJackson

34 Santa Barbara

Awesome place! - lm93

35 Cincinnati

I was born here and it is one of the greatest cities in America. I also like Bar Harbor, Maine. - rushrules

Live here and love my city

I was born here. Love it. - EpicJake

It's ok, bad schools however

36 Omaha

Love it here! From snow storms in May to 80 degree days in November I love Omaha. The city itself is just so amazing and beautiful (well, as long as you stay in the good part of downtown and out of the ghetto).

underrated and not that big, but with the zoo, CWS, old market, qwest center, midtown, the food, the music, and almost everything else is totally awesome!

The old market, the zoo which by the way is voted the best in the United States, and the CWS. The city has everything and though not as exciting as most is one of the most stable cities around.

I live in Omaha. It has Henry Doorly Zoo, Eppley Airfield (Airport), CWS, etc. Just like any other city. Hope all you guys visit here. Even the summers are nice. They are usually in the 80s and not the 90s or 100s. - EpicJake

37 Buffalo Buffalo

I voted for Buffalo because that is where I am from. Its really not too bad but
I'm definitely biased

I love to live in Buffalo.

It's also near Niagara Falls

Buffalo, NY feels a lot like New England, and Buffalo and New York is part of New England.

38 Santa Fe

39 Lexington, Kentucky

Better than most of the top 10!

40 Des Moines

Not the biggest, but you don't get huge traffic and it doesn't take hours to get somewhere close like those huge cities. More peaceful

Go Des Moines. awesome city! - cfb

41 Virginia Beach

Wow, I'm actually surprised my city is in the top 40. Anyway, how could you NOT love this city, with beautiful neighborhoods, great weather, and I don't need to mention the boardwalk. Visit if you can!

42 Goleta, California

This place has awesome weather, and it is very peaceful. Should be higher! - lm93

43 Louisville, KY

Louisville is a very underrated city. Very beautiful and historical. Amazing old architechture. Also quite diverse and progressive.

44 St. Paul

St. Paul is nice and to be fair a lot of the things I credited to Minneapolis are actually in St. Paul. Hey, they are called the Twin Cities, right? So they're a lot alike.

Minneapolis is ahead! By a lot! Come on all you people who agree that St. paul is way better than its twin brother, Minneapolis.

What about the mall is huge.

45 Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls is a city in Ontario, Canada. It is located on the western bank of the Niagara River in the Golden Horseshoe region of Southern Ontario, with a population of 82,997 at the 2011 census.

This is in Canada. - creed99

Well Niagara falls is not just in Canada it's also in the us.

It's good.

Well even if this is in 🇨🇦 it’s still very very very very very close to the usa

46 Grand Forks

47 Salt Lake City

Lots of cute innocent women, pretty mountains, kind people, 4 seasons of weather, skiing, many outdoor activities nearby, and plenty of flour/sugar based food products!

Awesome city with so many people to meet.

How the heck is it so low? It should be #20, not #50.
Access to the mountains, not too far from deserts and red rock formations and all of Utah's wonderful national parks! Not everybody is a conservative Mormon, only 30-40% of the city is Mormon. And it sure isn't conservative, they have one of the largest LGBT communities in the USA!
Definitely one of my favorite cities, the thing that they are missing is sports teams!

The assmin lives there.

48 Nags Head

49 San Antonio

We have the Alamo and 5 other missions recently made a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the San Antonio river, the Battle of the Alamo, Tower of the Americas, the 7th Largest Population in the United States, little smog, a great downtown, the Spurs and so much more. How is San Antonio #44 on this list?

#7 Largest city in the United States by population. Passed Dallas for second largest in Texas - westofohio

Not the best but it should be way higher

Should be top 10
