13 Reasons Living In Massachusetts Is The Best – And Everyone Should Move Here. If you’re a long-time resident of Massachusetts, you probably already know why this state is the absolute best place to live. However, if you’re contemplating a move or just need a reminder of all the ways the Bay State dominates, this list is for you. Here are the top reasons why you, your partner and your family should move to Massachusetts as soon as possible.
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
1. We’re pretty much the smartest state in the nation.
Massachusetts consistently ranks as the state with the most highly educated populace and our school systems can’t be beat. Some might say we’re…wicked smaht.
2. Our seafood is some of the best and freshest in the country.
You don’t realize how important having winter, spring, summer and fall is until you move away. Though winter may seem like it lasts forever in Massachusetts, we’re actually supremely fortunate to get a taste of all four seasons.
4. But we have a soft spot for fall. And summer…and spring. Heck, even winter is great.
One consequence of having all four seasons is that it’s hard to pick which one is the best in Massachusetts. Our autumn foliage is stunning, our summer days are idyllic, our spring is filled with freshness and flowers, and our winter is perfect for building snowmen and getting cozy.
You can live here all your life and still discover something new every day. From our lesser-known state parks to our many amazing hidden restaurants, there’s always a reason to head out and explore in Massachusetts.
Massachusetts beaches are some of the most beautiful in the world. Whether you head to the North Shore, the South Shore or good ol’ Cape Cod, you’re bound to have your breath stolen away by this state’s dazzling coastline.
There’s a reason that Norman Rockwell used a Massachusetts small town as his inspiration. Small towns in the Bay State are among the most effortlessly charming places you could ever hope to find yourself.
Massachusetts might be known as the bluest state in the nation, but we actually welcome political discourse of all kinds. Plenty of areas in the state are pretty conservative and it’s great to have all viewpoints represented.
It seems like there’s a historic colonial home or famous monument on every street corner. While it may mean that getting a building permit in some towns is a huge pain, we actually love how quaint all those old whitewashed homes and cobblestones make our state.
Bostonians will allow no argument on this point. Boston is the cradle of the nation and filled with amazing places to eat, shop and explore. Plus, it’s a downright gorgeous city and the locals are as colorful as they get.
