THE NICEST PLACES IN AMERICA

Clockwise from top left: Mccook, Nebraska; Anaheim, California; Cedar House in Abilene, Kansas; The Villages in Florida

For our 2019 search, we received more than 1,000 submissions.

From those, we selected the Nicest Place in every state—and ultimately this year’s Nicest Place of them all.

HAVE YOU EVER noticed that nice people usually travel in groups? Maybe that’s because they have a knack for bringing others along, whether it’s with a simple smile or a great leap that turns a disaster into an opportunity. For our third Nicest Places search, we decided to go big. We wanted to find the nicest place not only in America, but in each and every state. And with the help of more than 1,000 nominations, we think we’ve found them.
