Realtor.com looked at the country's 11 largest cities, then picked suburbs in each metro area with a population of at least 10,000.
Among the factors Realtor.com considered are percentage of children living in each suburb, local school rankings, the number of family-friendly businesses (like day care centers), commute times, and the presence of restaurants, bars, and activities.
