Living in Ithaca: Awards
You don't have to take my word for it that Ithaca is a great place to live. It's well documented - and a smart choice (3rd on Forbes Magazine's list of America's Smartest Cities).
Ithaca is relatively safe (3rd in Farmers Insurance study of Most Secure Small Towns), a great place to work (Forbes Magazine's Best Places for Business and Careers), raise a family (Mothering Magazine's 25 Terrific Places) and retire (Kiplingers Personal Finance & Smart Money Magazine).
It's also a very healthy city (Organic Style Magazine), vegetarian friendly (VegNews Magazine), and environmentally friendly (Country Home Magazine).
The attraction of Ithaca to outdoor adventurers and trail blazers has also been recognized. Money Magazine named Ithaca one of the best places to vacation, Bike Magazine called it one of America's Five Best Mountain Biking Towns, and it's well recognized for great fishing (fly fishing by Fish and Fly Magazine & bass fishing by Sports Afield Magazine).
