Are you anticipating a move on the horizon? If you're looking for a new place to restart your life, or maybe you're thinking of raising a family, then you might want to consider a new list that was recently released. A publication called Niche named their 100 Best Places to Live in America, and several towns in New York made the list.

Two of the areas that the survey recognized are located in the lower Hudson Valley.

Two Lower Hudson Valley Towns Named Some of the Best 

Niche surveyed the best places to live in 2023, and for the 4th straight year, Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania won the top prize. Niche used data rating such factors as an area's schools, job openings and opportunities, to the overall cost of living. Sometimes New York hasn't done so well on surveys like this due to the high expenses.

WalletHub put together a study for the best states in the country for singles. In order to rank the best and worst states for singles, WalletHub compared the 50 states across three key dimensions: 1) dating economics, 2) dating opportunities and 3) romance and fun.

Overall New York was 2nd in the country only to California for singles. According to WalletHub, New York was 1st and 2nd for dating opportunities and romance and fun, respectively. Of course, we know it's expensive here, so New York ranked dead last when it came to dating economics, according to the study.
