Money magazine named the City of Keller 7th in its top 100 “Best Places to Live” ranking of small U.S. towns. The magazine’s annual list was released Monday, July 13, on its Web site, www.money.cnn.com, with an article to be published in the magazine’s August 2009 edition.
The list ranks small towns by looking at the strength of their economies, home values, public schools, unemployment rates, crime rates and amenities that enrich the quality of life, among other attributes. For Keller, the article cites the energy industry that has bolstered the region, as well as major offices just outside the City for FedEx, Fidelity Investments and Sabre Holdings. The Keller Town Center district and abundant park amenities were also noted as assets. These factors, as well as the booming Alliance corridor and companies such as American Airlines, have helped Keller’s population triple since 1990.
The City of Keller is among eight other cities including Colleyville, Fort Worth, Haltom City, Hurst, North Richland Hills, Southlake, Watauga, and Westlake that Keller ISD serves.
