For most, it would make much more sense to live in expensive cities than spending most of their lives in the suburbs. But what are some of the best cities to live in for millennials? Nestpick, a top apartment hunting website has created a list based on a wide range of factors. Some of the factors used to rank these cities include the cost of living, gender equality, access to public transport, the total number of Apple stores per capita as well as internet speed. The website came up with top cities for millennials to live in and here are some of the best picks:
