Edmond, OK, Is One of the Best Cities To Live in America

Once considered a sleepy suburb of Oklahoma City, it’s clear that Edmond, OK, is carving its own unique path — rightfully earning its spot as one of the best places to live in the U.S. Edmond has a growing and adorable downtown scene as well as its own strong economy separate from the city. Unsurprisingly, health care and education are among the top industries, with the University of Central Oklahoma and Oklahoma Christian University within city limits.

Adding to its big-city amenities are thriving health care facilities, which include two hospitals, a surgical center and many physicians’ offices — all creating 1,000-plus jobs that have generated about $400 million since 2010. Of course, this investment in health care has translated into a healthier community and a longer life expectancy in Edmond when compared to the rest of the state.

But beyond the economy, Edmond is a great place to live for many other reasons, including its excellent schools, family-friendly vibe and unmatched quality of life. In addition, the city is home to several parks and places to get out and about to explore, like Arcadia Lake and the Arcadia Lake Trail. Also, Edmond has a thriving arts and culture scene and is home to several museums, galleries and performing arts venues. For example, the Armstrong Auditorium is a world-class performing arts center hosting the best classical, folk and jazz artists.
