FLORIDA — The best place in Florida to plant roots for a lifetime is Wellington, according to Fortune’s new ranking of the nation’s 50 Best Places to Live for Families.
In the analysis, Fortune said Wellington, which has a population of 61,996, sits in Palm Beach County and is 33 minutes west of West Palm Beach. Wellington ranks No. 36 as the best place to live in the U.S.
"Wellington’s claim to fame is that Bill Gates snapped up real estate in the area, when daughter Jennifer used to train there for equestrian events. Other boldface names, like Michael Bloomberg and Laurene Powell Jobs, also have ties to the area," Fortune said.
