Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh
Your ideal big city is Pittsburgh! This high-tech hub is far more affordable than San Francisco, but also boasts great shopping and restaurants, as well as a pedestrian- and bike-friendly downtown.

Tampa
Tampa
Your ideal big city is Tampa! Year-round sunshine, beaches, affordable housing, and jobs aplenty make Tampa the best big city in the Southeast—and the best place for you. There's a vibrant party scene but you can always escape the madness: Tampa offers quiet residential neighborhoods and plenty of more staid cultural offerings, like a world-class art museum.
Denver

Your ideal big city is Denver! The best-in-the-West metropolis is one of the country's fastest-growing destinations for Millennials thanks to its mix of urban living and proximity to countless outdoor activities: Just 45 minutes from town, adventurers can backpack, hike, bike, and scale cliff to their hearts' content.

Omaha
Your ideal big city is Omaha! The best city in the Midwest boasts a solid economy, affordable housing, and a short average commute—not to mention a burgeoning foodie scene.

Mesa

Your ideal big city is Mesa! Residents love Mesa—right nearby Phoenix, Arizona—not only for warm weather and affordable housing, but also for amazing schools. There's hardly a better place to raise kids, especially if you are a golfing family: the city features more than two dozen golf courses.
