Suwanee landed on Kiplinger.com's list of 10 great places to raise a family. It looked amenities such as good schools, affordability, low crimes rates, and a large percentage of families with children under 18.

The Gwinnett County city came in at number 3, beat out only by Omaha and Richland, Wash.

Those trailing Suwanee in order were Thousand Oaks, Calif.; East Grand Rapids, Mich.; Appleton, Wis.; Sunnyvale, Calif.; Middletown, N.Y.; Corona, Calif; and Stamford, Conn.
