(City of Johns Creek)
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. - A metro Atlanta city has taken the top spot as Travel and Leisure Magazine's best U.S. suburb to live in.
The magazine says it used feedback from expert realtors and livability rankings to select its 10 best suburbs in the country.
When the dust settled, Johns Creek, Georgia, was ranked No. 1.
Travel + Leisure pointed to Johns Creek's low crime rates, access to outdoor activities like the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, and excellent schools as reasons why it was a top choice for families.
According to data from Zillow, the median home value in the city is $704,470.
