Savage is one of the best places to live in America, according to a new list by CNN’s Money magazine.

In a list of 100 “terrific small towns…boast(ing) great job opportunities, top-notch schools, safe streets, economic strength, and more,” Savage ranks number 51.

Money cites Savage’s strong growth since the 1996 construction the Highway 169 Minnesota River bridge and the fact that the city has retained its small-town feel while developing modern suburban qualities.

Other features credited with contributing to the community’s quality of life include Savage’s affordable housing stock; protected wetlands; and an array of parks – 22 to be exact.
