Niche recently released their 2022 list of the "Best Cities to Raise a Family in America," and one Colorado city made the cut.

That honor goes to Boulder!

Coming in the No. 16 spot overall, this city got high marks for its public schools (A+), nightlife (A+), and of course, family-friendliness (A). The median home value is $700,000, and 48% of people own their homes in the city.

Here's a review from a current resident:

"Boulder is very much it’s own place and you won’t find another place like it. It is extremely health-conscious, liberal and safe. You can go on a beautiful hike less then 5 minutes from home! The restaurants are a delight, but expensive, however worth it in my opinion. It’s vegan friendly and highly educated. The mental health resources are stellar as well. Commercial, big boxed stores are coming in more and more but less so then in most towns."

These are the Top 15 places to raise a family in the nation, according to Niche:

  1. Naperville, Illinois
  2. The Woodlands, Texas
  3. Arlington, Virginia
  4. Overland Park, Kansas
  5. Columbia, Maryland
  6. Ann Arbor, Michigan
  7. Cambridge, Massachusetts
  8. Bellevue, Washington
  9. Irvine, California
  10. Plano, Texas
  11. Berkeley, California
  12. Richardson, Texas
  13. Sunnyvale, California
  14. Madison, Wisconsin
  15. Carlsbad, California
