Two Tampa Bay cities were named among the best places to live by personal finance website Money.com. According to the ranking of 100 cities, Riverview ranked No. 33, while Wesley Chapel was No. 56.

Riverview earned the ranking thanks to its access to beaches, nature, bars and restaurants, and its proximity to attractions such as Tampa Electric Co.'s manatee viewing center.

"One surprising element of the neighborhood is the amount of tasty local fare within the suburban sprawl,” the ranking said, citing a short drive to Tampa's Wat Thai Temple.

The ranking scored cities with populations of 50,000 or more, and based on the cities' cost of living, economic health and diversity, income, public health and safety, amenities, ethnic diversity and "ease of living.”
