To determine the top 150 cities, Real Estate News looked at a good value, a desirable place to live, a strong job market, and a high quality of life.

Top Three Cities

Top Missouri Cities

At #52 Kansas City ranks the highest on the list out of 150. With music, sports, fountains, and hundreds of places to eat it's no wonder KC is on this list. With the popularity of the Kansas City Chiefs, this city is becoming increasingly popular in the state.

Not much further down the list is Springfield, Missouri at #58. Nicknamed the "Queen City of the Ozarks," (I had no idea that's what the city was called), Springfield has a portion of Route 66, a historic downtown, and the place if you love being outdoors.

No surprise that St. Louis is on the list at #114. Yes, it may show up on the crime list, but St. Louis has so much to offer: the Zoo, St. Louis Cardinals, the St. Louis Blues, Fox Theatre, and entertainment. There are great places to visit when visiting St. Louis.

I've been to all of these cities and they are amazing. I would easily live in any of these cities if I had the option.
