Beverly Ranked Massachusetts' Top City to Live In

A new study found that Beverly is Massachusetts' best city to live.

Credit Donkey, a company that provides credit report information to consumers, focused on five key factors:

• Odds of being a victim of a violent crime
• Commute time
• Income
• Residents who attended some college
• Restaurants per capita 

Beverly ranked first on the list of best cities to live in, according to Credit Donkey.

Here’s why Beverly received high marks:

“Just 16 miles northeast of Boston, Beverly is one of the oldest cities in Massachusetts. A relatively low crime rate combined with a high average wage makes Beverly an excellent choice for families and professionals. Its close proximity to Boston gives commuters access to the area’s commuter train and a short ride to the city (albeit with some company along the way), yet it also has its share of restaurants and local attractions that keep people around during their off-hours.”
