A new study by RentCafe, an apartment and self-storage website, points to Salt Lake City, Utah, as the best U.S. city for minimalist lifestyles, followed by Arlington, Virginia, and St. Paul, Minnesota. Rounding out the top 5 locations are Madison, Wisconsin, and Atlanta, Georgia.

Part of the Yardi real estate software development family, RentCafe ranked 96 U.S. cities with populations of over 200,000, using data including home sizes, electricity bills, eco-friendly practices, natural landscaping, and access to self-storage.
