Melrose Still A 'Best Place To Live,' Boston Magazine Says

MELROSE, MA — Chalk another one up for Melrose. The city that's no stranger to accolades was just named one of the "Best Places To Live" by Boston Magazine.

Melrose was listed under the category of "If You’re Still Looking for a Place in the ’Burbs," due to its proximity to Boston. The city, of course, gets a shoutout for being named one of the hottest ZIP codes in American by realtor.com.

While some residents might quibble with the "relatively affordable home prices," there's no denying the "beautiful tree-lined neighborhoods ... and a charming downtown."
