Money magazine has named Eden Prairie the nation's Best Place to Live in 2010. (And, hey, if we're all about regionalism these days, that means we can count this as a victory for the entire Twin Cities, right?)
Here's what
Money has to say:
"Why is Eden Prairie No. 1 this year? Not only is it family-friendly, it has a dynamite economy too. At 5.1%, its unemployment rate is nearly one percentage point below the county rate and more than four points below the national average. It helps when you've got 50,000 jobs right in town."
The publication notes the city's perfect bond rating, it's miles of trails, and major employers, including C.H. Robinson, Starkey Labs, and the Minnesota Vikings.
Eagan, Plymouth, Woodbury and Apple Valley were also in the Top 25.
