Thirteen California cities are ranked among the “Best Places to Live in the U.S.” in 2025, according to a ranking by U.S. News & World Report.
U.S. News & World Report’s 2025-2026 Best Places to Live report compiled 150 cities to highlight.
“To make the top of the list, a place had to have good value, be a desirable place to live, have a strong job market and a high quality of life,” according to the report.
Which California cities were ranked best places to live in the U.S.?
San Francisco seized California’s top position and was ranked 22nd in the U.S.
“A beautiful region filled with iconic landmarks, independently owned businesses and trendsetting residents, San Francisco has long followed the beat of its own drum,” the report stated. “Today, San Francisco is a complete universe in and of itself: Each neighborhood exudes its own personality, from the historic streets of the Mission District to the grassy hills of the Presidio to the bustling piers along the Embarcadero.”
It was followed by San Diego at 46th overall, San Jose at 70th place, Santa Barbara at 71st and Visalia at 110th.
