Woodbury – One of the Top 10 Best Places to Raise Your Kids

Woodbury-park BusinessWeek recently released the results of its fourth annual survey of the best places in America to raise your kids. I wasn't surprised to learn that the Twin Cities was included in the top 10, with the southeastern suburb of Woodbury ranking #6 in this year's list.

What criteria did they use ?

Safety, along with school test scores, air quality, and affordability, were weighted especially highly in this year's calculations. But we also considered job growth, diversity, and amenities such as museums, parks, and theaters.

Woodbury is a growing suburb just 10 miles southeast of St. Paul. It is home to the Math & Science Academy charter school, and 91% of its high school graduates go on to higher education. Add to that over 3,000 acres of parkland and over 100 miles of trails…Woodbury truly is a great place to raise your kids!
