With its booming economy, low cost of living, and copious development opportunities, it is no surprise that The Rocket City is nationally ranked once again. Recognized among 25 other cities, Huntsville is the Best Place to Live for Families in the U.S. in 2023–2024, according to U.S. News and World Report.
