If you are looking to buy a home and want to be in the best city or town in the country, here is a guide to help your shopping. US News and World Report has released some interesting real estate news about the best places to live in The United States.

According to the post on their website:

U.S. News analyzed the 125 most populous metro areas to find the best places to live. To make the top of the list, a place had to have good value, be a desirable place to live, have a strong job market and a high quality of life.

It's no surprise that New York doesn't ran very well on the list. As a matter of fact, the first place in New York that you will find on the list is Albany at #39. High taxes are probably the biggest factor in why this state struggles to make lists such as this.

Syracuse is also ahead of Buffalo at #48. Rochester and Buffalo are back to back on the list at #'s 51 and 52 respectively.

The report says this about Buffalo:

The Great Depression sparked the slow decline of Buffalo's lofty economic status, but the region is now once again on the rise.
