CLARKSTOWN MAKES MONEY MAGAZINE BEST LIVING LIST

Helping residents stay cool may be one of the reasons Money Magazine has placed Clarkstown 71st on a list of 100 best places to live in the U.S. Focus of the selection process, however, was more heavily steered by job availability, education and recreational activities. Editors screened out retirement communities, places with extremely high or low income, those with high crime rates, population declines and significant unemployment. Other top 100 places to live in our area include Wayne, Middletown, Edison and Piscataway, NJ. The crème of the crop, according to editors’ standards, is Plymouth, Minnesota. Money Magazine will release the list in next month’s edition.
