GLCEDC - Quality of Life

The quality of life in Livingston County is a result of many contributing factors. These include good neighbors, quality schools, a rural character, lack of traffic congestion, abundance of open space, excellent park and recreational amenities, and modern conveniences for shopping and dining. The communities of Livingston County range in size from 100 to 11,000. Whether you are looking for a small town, or a medium sized city, Livingston County has the community for you.

We invite you to experience the small town America that is leading many people to give up the daily two-hour commute, smog, stress, breakfast and dinner in the car, and lack of family time in order to experience true community and establish a healthy balance between work and family.
