Saratoga Springs Named One of Nation’s Most “Sought-After” College Towns
SARATOGA SPRINGS — According to data from the website moveBuddha, Saratoga Springs is currently the tenth most “sought-after” college town in the country. The Spa City just barely cracked the top ten, edging out Savannah, Georgia.
The rankings were compiled from 190,000 searches on moveBuddha, a relocation aggregator that helps users sift through different moving companies. Saratoga Springs had a relatively high move-in to move-out ratio (1.70), meaning that there are nearly twice as many users looking to move into the city than move out. Saratoga also scored well due to its unemployment rate (3.8) being lower than the national average (4.2), its walkable downtown, and its bountiful supply of outdoor space.
However, the Spa City was dinged for its high home prices, which were the fourth highest overall among college towns researched by moveBuddha.
