The Bull City is one of the best in the country when it comes to overall quality-of-life options for wellness, according to a recent poll by Women’s Health.
The magazine and Yelp compiled an unnumbered top-15 list of America’s “wellthiest” cities. Austin, Texas, Boulder, Colo., and Phoenix joined Durham on the list.
The report defined “wellthy” areas as those “teeming with gyms and doctors and parks ... but also nail that elusive quality-of-life thing – restaurants with farm-fresh food, landscapes that energize and calm you, and lots of opportunities to stay social.”
Women’s Health’s wellness poll came out the week after its companion magazine, Men’s Health, named Raleigh the 6th most adventurous city in America.
