CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago is the largest city included in Money Magazine's list of "Best Places to Live in America" list for 2014. The ranking was made based on livability, housing affordability and economic strength.

The magazine also ranked Chicago's Edison Park neighborhood in their top ten for big-city bargains.

"In the last two weeks, Chicago has been credited with having the number one art museum in the world at the Art Institute of Chicago," said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, "and having the greenest purchasing of any government in the U.S. What this says is from the public sector to the private sector, and from Edison Park to Pullman, Chicago continues to be a world-class city where people want to live, business want to locate and tourists want to visit."
