From Money Magazine:

"For this year's list we focused on smaller places that offered the best combination of economic opportunity, good schools, safe streets, things to do and a real sense of community."

Why did Middleton, WI, get the top nod? "Small-town charm; booming economy; extensive parks and bike trails". In short, a ideal place to live out the middle class American dream. The cons -- a tough winter, and a lack of ethnic diversity.

Other places that make this year's top 10 include Hanover, New Hampshire, Louisville, Colorado, and Lake Mary, Florida.
