Do you dream of having a family of your own? Some areas offer more family-friendly features than others such as more career opportunities, great school systems, access to healthcare, and activities such as hiking, biking, and camping.
Harmony Healthcare IT compiled a list of the best cities to raise a family in 2023. The website states, "Our new report aims to find some of the most and least expensive cities to raise a family in 2023 by looking at a variety of data including the cost of living, education, childcare, crime, healthcare, and housing. We compared the 100 most populous cities in the U.S. to come up with this list."
According to the list, four of the top 10 least expensive cities for raising a family are right here in Texas. Plano came in at number three on the list, followed by Irving at number four. Further down the list was Garland at number six and Fort Worth at number 10. The website states:
"When it comes to cost, two states reigned supreme as the best places to raise a family: Arizona and Texas."
Here are the top 10 least expensive cities for raising a family:
- Gilbert, AZ
- Chandler, AZ
- Plano, TX
- Irving, TX
- Omaha, NE
- Garland, TX
