Cranston One of Americas Best Cities

The website 247WallSt.com has named Cranston, Rhode Island one of the best cities to live in.

Cranston was named number 41 of the 50 cities on the list with number one being Meridian, Idaho and number two the nearby Danbury, Connecticut.

The reason for Cranston’s position on the list induced its clean air, closeness to Providence, safety, and amenities.

The list also says that although just 3.2% of Cranston residents commute using public transit, a proposed commuter rail station may increase that figure.
