National surveys attempting to determine the best places to live continue to include several college towns. The small-town environment is attractive for its slower pace and the athletic facilities and educational programs offered by the school.

College towns also remind many aging baby boomers of the places where they grew up or received their education and where they ultimately would like to return.

For example, two couples my wife and I have known for years recently purchased a home near a popular university. When I asked if the homes were going to be college rental investments, I was told that both couples plan to make the homes their primary residences.
