The City of Johns Creek has been named the #1 Best Place to Live in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.
“We are blessed with a great community and it’s always nice when others recognize that,” said Johns Creek Mayor John Bradberry. “The Council and I will continue to focus on delivering value and a strong quality of life for our residents.“
The City ranks number one in the nation out of 250 unveiled on the 2025-2026 list, which expanded to evaluate more than 850 of the country’s top cities based on how well they meet consumers’ living expectations, with measures including value, job market, desirability and quality of life.
The four measures factored into this year’s ranking were weighted in part based on a public survey of thousands of individuals throughout the U.S. to find out what qualities they consider important in a place to live. The methodology also factors in data from U.S. News’ internal resources, Applied Geographic Solutions, and U.S. government agencies including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Census Bureau, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
