Suwanee has been named one of the nation's 10 Best Towns for Families by Family Circle magazine.

The story is featured in the August issue of Family Circle, which hits newsstands July 2; it's also available online at www.FamilyCircle.com/besttowns.

Family Circle used demographic information and family-friendly criteria – including affordable homes, quality schools, access to health care, green space, low crime rate, and financial stability – to assess cities and towns with populations between 10,000 and 150,000. The magazine article about Suwanee features the Chun family, who moved to the community from Maryland in 2001.

Suwanee was the smallest community to be named to Family Circle's list of perfect places to call home. Other communities to make the list Allen, Texas; Boulder City, Nevada; Madison, Alabama; Marion, Iowa; Morton, Illinois; Rio Rancho, New Mexico; Troy, Michigan; Upper Arlington, Ohio; and West Hartford, Connecticut.
