Relocate-America.com, which provides resources to people who are relocating to a new community, has compiled a list of cities and towns that its customers believe are the best places to live.

In order to make the list, a community must first be nominated by someone familiar with the area's benefits. Relocate-America's editorial team reviews the nominations for compelling reasons that make the community a top place to live. Such descriptions often include references to a community's people and neighborhoods, beauty of the area, quality of the schools, things to do, economic vibrancy and environmental health.

The top 10 towns are:

1. Asheville, N.C.
2. Traverse City, Mich.
3. Ithaca, N.Y.
4. Chicago
5. Cary, N.C.
6. Portland, Maine
7. San Francisco
8. Stevens Point, Wis.
9. O'Fallon, Mo.
10. Spencer, Iowa
