It my not be a secret to those who live in Needham, but now Boston Magazine knows.

Needham has been named one of the “best places to live” by Boston magazine. The March 2013 issue of the magazine breaks down the “best places to live” based on the stage of one’s life, according to a press release.

The town has been recommended for people who are “Moving Up.” That is, anyone who is looking for more space and good schools. 

Among the reasons to consider Needham, the magazine starts with the inaugural season of the Great Hall Concert Series, and mentions the five liquor stores soon to open. The business scene, Needham Center and its restaurants, the senior center and the schools also make the list.
