Cleveland, Ohio

This working-class, "new American world-class city" is a model of urban renewal. Cleveland was plagued by debt and dirt. The city cleaned up the downtown, spruced up the parks and waterways and has since become one of the most livable cities in the U.S.

The city now boasts a legendary art museum, top-notch symphony, the Great Lakes Science Center and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not bad at all for a city with a shabby start. The sports scene was also bolstered by the opening of Jacobs Field, the first of baseball's "new classic" parks. The blend of tradition and innovation is Cleveland's new trademark.

Median income -- $25,928

Median house value -- $72,100
