Family Circle magazine has named Cooper City as one of the 10 best U.S. cities for families. The article was in the August Family Circle edition.

Family Circle partnered with On Board, a New York City research firm providing real estate and demographic data to assemble a list of 1,850 places with populations between 15,000 and 150,000 and a high concentration of households with an average income of $65,000. From that, 800 localities were selected based on family-friendly criteria, including cost of living, jobs, schools, health care, air quality, green space and crime rate. Family Circle assessed which towns best met those standards and ranked them according to state. The winners were selected from the highest-rated towns in the top 10 states nationwide.

Cooper City was the only Florida city in the top 10. With a circulation of 3.9 million and 20 million readers, Family Circle is one of the most widely read monthly magazines in the world.
