New Ranking: Best for Education and Families
We had a ranking doubleheader this week as Parenting Magazine unveiled its Best Cities for Families 2010 rankings. Lexington was named #5 overall and Parenting had this to say:
Among the many reasons families love Lexington are its 5,821 acres of parks, pools, and playgrounds, the low crime rate, and a stable real estate market. This city, considered the world capital of racehorse breeding, had the top score in our Home Value Loss ranking. This means that of all the cities surveyed, fewer homes here (just 6.65 percent) sold at a loss than in any other city. Lexington also has fewer registered sex offenders than more than three quarters of the cities surveyed.
Along with its #5 overall ranking, Lexington was also ranked as the #2 Best City for Education. Parenting Magazine said:
With its an excellent pupil/teacher ratio (13.8:1) and high reading scores, Lexington, is a city with education as a top priority.

Good info. I didn’t know about these new rankings but it should help me considerably in my business, which is mostly selling apartment complexes. Nice info to have and nice to know we are still at the top in many areas.
