Cbus beats L.A., NYC, & Miami for best cities to live in – here’s where and why we ranked so high

Cbus is the 14th largest city in the U.S., and now, it’s officially the 26th best city to live in.

According to Clever, a real estate website that specializes in rating and categorizing cities, Columbus is quite the destination for easy living. “Our ‘Best of 2023’ analysis serves as a resource to help Americans weigh the pros and cons of staying in their current location or seeking greener pastures elsewhere,” said Clever.

Clever used 16 different studies to compile a list of the best cities to live in, ranging from home prices, commuter distances, best food & drink (like pizza, burgers, beer, coffee, tacos and BBQ), and overall friendliness. Columbus was ranked #14 for most affordable housing, #14 in lowest rent-to-income ratio, #25 for best food, #12 for best burgers, and #5 for best commuter cities. All of this culminated to an overall #26 place for best cities in the United States.

Surprisingly, Buffalo, NY, came out on top at the #1 spot. It was considered the second-best city for commuters and has seen the second-lowest increase in home prices in the nation, making it one of the best cities to live in the U.S.!

The bottom-ranking city is Miami, FL. While this city has a thriving and bustling food and drink scene, unfortunately, rent and home prices are too high for them to be considered a “top city.”  Ironically, Miami was placed 15th on their list for cities that people want to live in the most.
