Fortune Magazine named Alexandria as one of the top 50 places for families to live. According to a release, “the list showcases a city in each U.S. state where multigenerational families are most likely to find access to critical resources, community support and financial well-being. Alexandria was chosen as the top city in the state of Virginia. To select the best places to live in each state, Fortune Magazine evaluated nearly 1,900 cities, towns, suburbs, exurbs, villages, and townships and reviewed more than 200,000 unique data points. These data points applied to five broad categories, including education, aging resources, general wellness, financial health, and livability.” The City of Alexandria ranked 19 in the magazine’s list.
