The Top-Rated Small Towns to Visit in Every State

Much of the population has an idyllic way of viewing small towns. People fall in love with the thought of sitting in a cozy coffee house. Perhaps it's the thought of walking down a familiar street and saying hi to everyone (because you know them) that intrigues them. If you are from a large city, the beckoning call that a quaint small town can be hard to resist. Are you ready to visit a small, cozy town and get a break from that loud, crowded city? Then look no further; here are the top-rated small towns to visit in every state. (Read 50 Affordable Cities to Buy a Home.)

A small town is often considered to have a population of 10,000 or less. Additionally, a suburb of a larger city can be considered a small town if its population is less than 10,000. According to the Census Bureau, three-fourths of incorporated places (or places considered a city or town) have a population of 5,000 or less.

Methodology

To create a list of the top-rated small towns to visit in every state Moms Who Think consulted Niche.com. From there, we narrowed down the top-rated places in America by town. After researching each state's top-rated towns, we looked for the top-rated towns with less than 10,000 in population. Additionally, included in the list are the rankings for best places to live in America and each town's grade rating. If the small quaint town life is calling you, try visiting one of these top-rated small towns in each state to get a taste of what it's like to call one of these places home.
