Forbes.com recently compiled a list of suburbs with the best standard of living for the country’s 15 largest cities. Alexandria was named as the best Northern Virginia suburb for Washington, DC.
Creating a model that analyzed data for school quality, crime rates, income and education levels and homeownership rates, Forbes.com used data supplied by a Rhode Island-based real estate research firm.
The search model was applied to every incorporated and unincorporated town, city, and village within a 25 mile radius of each of the major cities.
