vanzack-

I know we had talked about the Minnetonka area up here and the possibility you may consider moving to MN in the future.  FYI, Minnetonka is right next to Eden Prairie.  Minnetonka has some older neighborhoods and some extremely affluent (around Lake Minnetonka) and many newer neighborhoods.  I'd say Eden Prarie is probably a little more "consistent" in terms of neighborhoods (a lot of them are similar in terms of cost of housing, etc.).  Minnetonka can go from $175K to 17 million.

Just something to chew on.

It's not listed as best place to live but rather best small city.

Think the criteria was 50k-250k population.

Still a good accolade to be ranked #1.

the entire western Metro from Plymouth (i think won the award last year, or a similar one) south to wayzata(my residence), Minnetonka and Eden Praire are all great cities and great to live in...

Minnesota

I'm a fan of all 4 seasons...who wants to deal with the same type of weather 12 months of the year? Variety my friends is where it's at...and you don't have to move!

Judging from those median home prices, I can understand why.
