Best places to live on the East Coast

Using Niche's 2025 rankings, Stacker lists Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania as the top East Coast suburb and Westchase, Florida as Florida's only entry.
High education levels explain much of the list's composition, as Princeton Junction, New Jersey reports 80% with a bachelor's or higher, Ridgewood, New Jersey roughly 80%, Cambridge, Massachusetts half with a master's or higher, and Fulton, Maryland 54%.
Planned developments and parks amplify livability, such as Cascades, Virginia's 2,500-acre community with 6,500 homes and five pools, and Innsbrook, Virginia, less than 40 miles from Washington, D.C., and 14 miles from Dulles Airport.
Census and moving-company data show shifting populations, with Florida up roughly 2%, District of Columbia up 2.2%, Delaware over 37% net in-migration, and Vermont 61% more inbound moves in 2024.
Access to nearby metros and cultural institutions keeps these towns attractive, for example Cambridge, Massachusetts hosts Harvard University and MIT and ranks highly for young professionals, while Penn Wynne, Pennsylvania offers proximity to Philadelphia's 1.6 million residents.
