The city of Portland has been named one of the top 10 places to live in the United States.
U.S. News & World Report, a respected and well-known media company, chose Maine’s largest city as the eighth-best place to live in the country. It also ranked Portland as the safest place to live in the U.S.
“This a great reminder to those of us who already live here: we are so lucky to call Portland home,” Portland Mayor Kate Snyder said in a statement Wednesday. “Our community is close-knit, engaged, and always looking for ways to energize and improve our city. I encourage Portland residents to take pride in this national recognition, and for others to consider making Portland their next stop for either a visit or a permanent change of scenery.”
