So, what Minnesota town took home the top spot? That would be the Twin Cities suburb of Chanhassen.

Chanhassen is a town of around 25,000 residents in Carver County. It's home to Paisley Park (Prince's Home) and the famous Chanhassen Dinner Theatre.

Why did Chanhassen take the crown this year? According to Money Magazine, the unique community has just about a bit of everything within its borders. Its arboretum is one of the best around. It has plenty of trails and activities for lovers of the outdoors. It has museums, culture, and diversity.

The town also has a low crime rate and has top marks in terms of education and health care.

Money also named a number of other Minnesota and Iowa towns to its list. You can find the full list from Money Magazine here.
