Livability's 2019 Top 100 Best Places to Live
March 8, 2019
Denton named to the Livability's 2019 Top 100 Best Places to Live
Located at the very northern edge of the DFW Metroplex, Denton has a small-town feel with big city amenities like two universities — University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University — as well as a thriving music and arts scene, and a charmingly Texan downtown square.
Denton earned a slot on our list in part because of the city’s high health score, thanks to its access to some of the best healthcare facilities in the state like Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton and several Cook Children’s Pediatrics locations throughout the city. Denton County was also named the healthiest county in Texas last year, citing its health outcomes, or how long people live and how healthy they feel while they’re living.
Additionally, Denton earned accolades for its many amenities, like its popular live music scene: On any given day of the week, you’re able to catch a show in a variety of genres like jazz, rock, country, blues or indie.
