Lincoln, RI was selected as number 60 in the Money best places to live
poll. I’m not surprised. We have a wonderful wooded park with ample mountain biking trailes just out my back door. Downtown Providence is a 10 minute drive away. Boston is less than an hour drive away and we aren’t far from the commuter rail line.
Interestingly, Louisville, CO ranked 3. I suspect their good mental health center and proximity to Boulder have something to do with it. Fort Collins didn’t rank at all, which surprised me.
Money magazine ranked Fort Collins #1 best place to live in 2006. Maybe there are fairness rules about re-ranking year after year. I can’t imagine the standard of living has decompensated too much in 1 year.

Maybe it has. Hewlett Packard is gradually going under and even when I lived there, people wanted two years experience for dishwashers. I’m sorry to say that this comment is pretty accurate. I find the Louisville comments interesting because I’ve never been there but I have lived in Boulder. Boulder doesn’t make the list because although it is a great town, the property values are out of site.
