Where is this mecca for moms? It's nestled along the Charles River in a little community known as Cambridge.
OpenDoor recently studied which cities were best to raise a family. That meant evaluating schools and family amenities like parks, playgrounds, parks, swimming pools, community centers, and more.
Cambridge topped the list for its small-town feel and family-friendly appeal. Cliffside Park, NJ, Arlington, VA, Chandler, AZ, and Tracy, CA, rounded out the top five. Click here to see the full list.
Another study found that Cambridge is also one of the safest cities for kids to go trick-or-treating. With Halloween approaching, the Chamber of Commerce looked at where parents won't be spooked when ghouls and goblins roam the streets and put Cambridge in second place.
This was determined off data about pedestrian crashes, property crime, the number of registered sex offenders, and the amount of police per 100,000 citizens. Researchers said Cambridge's low number of pedestrian-involved car crashes and sex offenders boosted it up the list.
