The 20 Best Cities for 20-Somethings

August 27, 2013

I’m not so bitter about being 30 that I can’t pass along some helpful info on continuing to survive your 20s – at least so far…

Check out this list from my friends at Greatist of the 20 Best Cities for 20-Somethings. Their criteria:

“There are common factors such as cleanliness, park space, and efficient transit systems, but this year we expanded our scope: Does a city provide ethnic and cultural diversity? Can you walk in peace or are the streets packed with cars? We compiled this year’s list taking into account as many factors as we could to bring you the most accurate list of healthy cities for 20-somethings.”

I’ll admit I’m not thrilled that L.A. is unlucky #13 (several spots below New York…), but Raleigh, NC is lucky #7 (Yay Katie & Dustin!) and Seattle is an impressive #3 (Go Clel & Mike!), so at least some of my friends know what they’re doing lifestyle wise. 

Enjoy, pass it on, and share your own opinions in comments.

  1. As a 32 year old who has lived in DC for the past 10 years, I can vouch for the awesomeness of it. Yay for DC being #1!

  2. Jessie- Fun list! I don’t think we have to take the #13 rating personally for L.A.- in the first paragraph, it says the cities are listed in reverse alphabetical order. 🙂

    Although, being from Baltimore, I can vouch for DC being very cool.

  3. Have lived in D.C., Raleigh, and Albuquerque and loved all three for different reasons. Currently about to graduate from college and deciding whether to move to San Francisco, Minneapolis, Denver, or Austin.
