The Best City to Raise Your Family in America

Arizona saved the best for last, or should I say first. I think I should, because Arizona's last candidate for this list wound up at the number one spot. That would be no other than Scottsdale, Arizona, named the best city to raise a family in in America.

There are plenty of reasons why Scottsdale ended up at the top, but the major factors were things like schools, landscape, and entertainment for all ages. Scottsdale is chock-full of these, and is an incredibly safe area to raise youngsters in. If you want to start a family any time soon, or make a move with one, Scottsdale should be at the top of your list.
