Best Cities for Single Women

Whether you’re newly single or single and ready to mingle, traveling gives you a fresh perspective on what the world has to offer. For those single girls who love to travel, there are certain cities that are more prone to showing you a good time. Armed with your favorite single girls’ anthem, who knows what could happen? If you’re considering a fresh start, it doesn’t hurt to explore the best cities for single women.

Boston, Massachusetts

Known for its prestige and historical charm, Boston offers a culturally diverse environment that has been enriched with intellect and intelligence. Those who travel to Boston will have no shortage of things to do or see. Whether you’re interested in sports, history, shopping or music, Boston is packed with entertaining activities. Single gals who fall in love with its New England charm will find plenty of employment opportunities and plenty of singles (approximately 33 percent). If you don’t mind bundling up, Boston is definitely the town for you.

Washington, D.C.

Moving down the East Coast is Washington, D.C. Known for its clubs and bars scattered throughout the city, whether it’s jazz or techno, you are sure to find your niche. D.C. has the lowest unemployment rate in the country, likely as a result of all the government jobs that are available. If you’re searching for more moderate weather, but don’t want to sacrifice any of the culture, Washington, D.C. not only makes a great place to visit, it’s an awesome place to live.

New York, New York

If you’ve tired of your single ladies anthem playing on repeat, just add any of the hundreds of songs about New York. New York has the fashion, shopping, entertainment, finance and business industries on lock. Unfortunately, their unemployment rate is at an all time low and their cost of living is the highest in the country. New Yorkers will argue that no city’s nightlife can keep up with theirs and with clubs staying open until 4 a.m., it’s hard to disagree. There is a high percentage of singles here and if you can keep up with the fast-paced life style, it may be your new home.

Seattle, Washington

If you’ve tried out the East Coast and it’s just not for you, a trip to Seattle, Washington may help put some pep back in your single step. This city is experiencing growth in the fields of technology, science, medical and aerodynamics which means more jobs, more people, and more available singles. As an artistic and creative environment, Seattle has a lot to offer to the short-term guest and the long-term resident. Those who find they need a Thoreau moment will love the proximity of the forest. About 28 percent of the population in Seattle is single, making it the perfect spot for those looking for a thriving city on a smaller scale.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

If you feel like you’re ready to give the East Coast one more go before making a move, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is a great place to try. Like most East Coast cities, there is no shortage of things to see or histories to explore. The active tourism keeps the unemployment rate low, and the production of Philly’s famed cheesesteak high. Housing is always available and this is actually the most affordable city on the list. The night life and independently artistic vibe always keeps things interesting and new.

Traveling to a new place revives the adventurous spirit in all of us. For my single ladies out there, change is often a good thing that keeps life moving in a great direction. So the next time you’re traveling, take some time to check out the percentage of singles and maybe pick out your new neighborhood too.
