Daily Blog: Louisville, CO

Everyone knows about Louisville, Kentucky. But maybe its time we started paying attention to Louisville, Colorado.

This city of nearly 19,000 just topped the CNNMoney.com rankings of the best cities under 50,000 in which to live:

The city offers a rare mix of commerce, culture and community. Located along the Rocky Mountains, Louisville provides a diverse job market that has kept county employment among the lowest in the state.

And people genuinely enjoy the city and its mountain setting:

"But the top reason residents give for moving here? The great outdoors. Louisville is laced with nearly 30 miles of trails, Rocky Mountain National Park is less than an hour away, and eight world-class ski resorts are within two hours. The town's schools are highly rated as well.

"Add in dry, clear weather, little crime, good health care, and low taxes, and Louisville is pretty tough to beat."
