In 2014 Fort Collins didn't even make the top 100 places to live. Which I thought was surprising! In the 2015 list we ranked 24th! So what about looking ahead to next year? According to the website, Liviablity.com,  Fort Collins has made a huge jump to no. 13!

Why the huge jump? This is an easy answer, Fort Collins is AWESOME! Here are some of the reasons it such a great place to live:
1. The tech industry is booming with companies like HP, Intel and National Semicunductor.
2. The local micro brew selection is vast and Fort Collins has been dubbed "The Napa Valley of Craft Beer"!
3. CSU plays a huge role in the local economy and entertainment.
4. Education is important and the schools rank high.
5. Fort Collins is one of the healthiest cities in the nation!
6. Last but not least, the access to the mountains, trails and recreation options is second to none!

 

Fort Collins wasn't the only Colorado city on the list. Others ranked on the top 100 list include Boulder #5, Longmont #23, Littleton #24, Lakewood #26, Loveland #41, Lafayette #44
