RSM Neighbor Makes National 'Best Dressed' List

Three Orange County cities, including one you'd never guess, make a real estate blog's national list of the top 10 best dressed small cities.

Bloggers for the national real estate site Movoto ranked three Orange County cities -- Newport Beach, Westminster and Mission Viejo -- among the best dressed in the country.

Tustin was close at 14th on the list, and Lake Forest was not too shabby at 43rd. Rancho Santa Margarita has too small a population to qualify. 

First, they drew up a list of 153 small cities with populations between 99,999 and 75,000. Then they ranked the cities by the following five statistics:

  • High-end fashion stores per capita
  • High-end shoe stores per capita
  • High-end jewelry stores per capita
  • Tailors per capita
  • Dry cleaners per capita
There is detailed information and full rankings on the Movoto blog.

No one would be surprised that Santa Monica came in first, but who knew Orange County was so fashionable?
