Ah, there’s no place like home – and, if you love to stay home, a new study has ranked the best US cities for homebodies.
According to Travel+Leisure, furniture company Joybird took a look at the 50 most populated cities in America to find which ones were best for homebodies.
Joybird looked at everything from remote work opportunities to internet speed, grocery delivery options to home prices to compile their list and found Raleigh, North Carolina, came out tops.
“During the pandemic, many Americans spent most, if not all, their time in their homes,” Joybird spokesperson Kimberly Gonzalez told Travel+Leisure. “Many took this time to revamp, redecorate, and rediscover how much comfort and joy a home can bring. Joybird sees a positive spin on the definition of “homebodies” as those who take great pleasure in living, working, and playing from home, and our research highlighted the top spots for these types of people.”
“The 20 Best U.S. Cities for Homebodies” according to Joybird are:
1. Raleigh, NC
2. Tampa, FL
3. Nashville, TN
4. Pittsburgh, PA
5. Orlando, FL
6. Hartford, CT
7. St. Louis, MO
