Located in the northwest suburbs of the Twin Cities Metro, the town of Champlin comes out on top with a livability score of 92.

What makes Champlin such a great place to live? Well, for starters, it's one of the top towns for education in the entire state. It's close enough to the Twin Cities for anything you would ever need, yet, far enough away from some of the issues that have plagued Minneapolis/St. Paul. It also has a number of parks and fun community activities to enjoy.
