The magazine Family Circle has listed Louisville as one of the top 10 towns for families. The magazine "assessed which places best met our family-friendly criteria -- including affordable homes, quality schools, access to healthcare, green space, low crime rate and financial stability -- and ranked them from top to bottom."  In the past, Louisville has ranked at the top of Money Magazine's "America's Best Places to Live" list. With these national accolades, Louisville is becoming quite the relocation hot spot for families moving to Colorado.
