Cambridge, a city in Massachusetts, is ranked No. 1. With grade A+ nightlife, it has an urban feel to the city.

Many residents rent their homes making it easy and inexpensive to find an apartment or townhouse.

Seattle, Washington, took the No. 3 spot and has amazing scenery and hiking trails. Graded A+ for nightlife and known for great food, Seattle was picked to be included in the top five.

Arlington, Virginia, is known for having a “mixing bowl” of job opportunities, people and fun, making it the fourth-best city for millennials.
