Six out of the 10 friendliest neighborhoods in the United States are located within Western states, with the Magnolia neighborhood in Seattle earning the top spot as the friendliest community of all. A recent study by All Star Home analyzed the 200-most viewed neighborhoods on Zillow from 2022 to 2023, including Google reviews for the areas themselves and the businesses located there.

Melissa Stephenson, spokesperson for All Star Home, a North Carolina-based roofing and siding firm, told The Epoch Times that the study indicates that the American West may offer better lifestyle options for homeowners.
