Sunshine, schools, jobs and location once again put Louisville at the top of Money Magazine's annual "America's Best Places to Live" list in 2011.

With easy accessibility and among the lowest crime rates in Colorado, Louisville has become a perennial name on Money's list, now earning the top spot for the second time.

Money also lists a stable and down-to-earth real estate market compared to surrounding communities, the available recreation activities and a cutting edge job market -- including tech, telecom, aerospace, clean energy and health care -- among the reasons for Louisville's selection.

Superior and Castle Rock also placed in the Top 20.
