“We are honored to be recognized as the best place to live, work and raise a family,” Beverly Sussman, the village's president, said in a statement. “We are proud to uphold very high standards to maintain a safe community and provide an excellent level of services for our residents."
More than 15,000 communities were evaluated by the data-crunching website Niche to make this decision. The website pays attention to a variety of factors such as quality of life, crime rates and cost of living.
