Honeywell Heaters Announces America’s Coziest Cities

Bostonians regain the number one spot and six new cities, including Albany, N.Y., have been dubbed “Cozy”.

“A lot of consideration went into determining how the definition of coziness is evolving. For some, a small town nestled in the mountains might be cozy, whereas to others, a city with historic architecture and quaint, winding streets may also be cozy. Central to these themes is the ability to find refuge from winter with warmth and creature comforts,” said Dr. Ted Myatt, an environmental scientist who partnered with the marketers of Honeywell Heaters to help determine the list.

“This year, we looked at cities located within close proximity to ski resorts and also urban centers with a higher number of tiny homes, both of which could be associated with cozy environments. For consistency with years past, we also looked at the number of specialty stores per capita in each city including coffee shops, bakeries, bed and breakfasts, and independent grocers.”

The top ten America’s Coziest Cities are as follows:

1.  Boston, Massachusetts

2.   San Francisco, California

3.   Seattle, Washington

4.   Albany, New York

5.   Portland, Oregon

6.   Rochester, New York

7.    Minneapolis, Minnesota
