Money magazine ranked Scottsdale No. 7 in its list of "Best Places to Live" in America. It was the only Arizona city in the top 10.
Money said forget Scottsdale’s “reputation as a winter retreat for well-off, golf-obsessed retirees.”
It said the city “offers year-round residents a wealth of job opportunities, great schools and recreation that doesn’t end at the 18th hole.”
The magazine put Fort Collins, Colo., at the top of the list, citing the area's natural setting, vibrant downtown and the presence of Colorado State University.
Cities are ranked on a series of factors, including cost of living, employment markets, median income, property taxes and housing prices. Crime, congestion, public schools and climate also go into the mix.
