New York City has often been recognized as the greatest city on earth. But when you picture the world’s best city, wouldn’t you assume it’s also the happiest? A recent study suggests the exact opposite – that the United States’ biggest metropolis is also the unhappiest. This led us to question which major metro areas did score highest for joy. Below you will find Slate‘s list of the top 8 happiest cities in America, and our favorite apartment listings in each area for under $1,500.
