Garden City Is One Of The Most Desirable Places To Live: Study

GARDEN CITY, NY — Garden City has ranked as one of the best places to call home.

Cardrates.com surveyed more than 3,000 people respondents who reside in the wealthy communities across the U.S. to find out if living there was worth it.

Garden City was rated number 9 on the study's list, pointing to "a low crime rate, a beautiful Long Island location, larger property sizes and a family-friendly community make it a sought-after destination despite the high cost of living."

Another Long Island location made the survey as Manhasset placed 44th.

But Garden City was showcased for having some of "the prettiest villages on Long Island with lots of historic architecture. It is 66 percent more expensive than the national average and 32 percent more expensive to live in than the average city in New York," Cardrates.com said.

Sitting atop the list is Palm Beach.
