Naperville is one of the best cities in America to live, according to Niche – NBC Chicago

Naperville has made the list of America’s Best Cities for another year in a row.

The suburban community ranked fourth on the 2023 list of the best cities to live in America, which was released Monday by Niche, a popular ranking and review website.

“Living in Naperville provides residents with a dense suburban feel and most residents own their homes,” the city’s description on the website reads. “In Naperville there are plenty of restaurants, cafes and parks. Many families and young professionals live in Naperville and the locals tend to have moderate political views…”

Ahead of Naperville this year are: Cambridge Massachusetts at number one, Arlington, Virginia at second and The Woodlands, Texas rounding out the top three. It’s not the only Midwestern city to make the top 10, however. Ann Arbor, Michigan, placed eighth and Overland Park, Kansas, took ninth place.

The city of 149,000 is no stranger to accolades, having made several other lists, including Cities with the Best Public Schools in America and Best Cities for Raising a Family in America. Naperville’s place on this specific list is a marked change from last year – when it was named the 16th best city in America to live.

Here are the top 10 cities:

1. Cambridge, MA
2. Arlington, Virginia
3. The Woods, Texas
4. Naperville, Ill.
5. Columbia, Maryland
6. Berkeley, California
7. Irvine, California
