Grand Rapids named one of America’s “most exciting mid-sized cities”
Grand Rapids has made another list.
It's exciting because we're exciting.
Movoto Real Estate released a list of "America's 10 Most Exciting Mid-Size Cities".
Cities with populations between 120,000 and 210,000 were considered for the list. That's a total of 117 cities.
Factors which determined ranking include: music venues, nightlife, parks, age of residents, and a lot more.
Movoto admitted to being surprised that Grand Rapids made the list. (we're not)
Unlike Fort Lauderdale, Grand Rapids is a name we honestly didn’t expect to see up here in the top 10, but the data doesn’t lie. The second-largest city in Michigan, it did best in nightlife (14th overall) and non-fast food dining (18th).
Grand Rapids has spots like Yesterdog or Stella’s Lounge to save you from mass-produced fare. Grand Rapids even did great for active life options and music venues, both of which it ranked 25th in.
Yes, we even have music venues.
Grand Rapids ranked 8th on the list.
It's good to see more exposure for Grand Rapids, especially considering that some are still so surprised by what we have to offer.
