While young people often dream of living in the city, there are nice little outposts of small towns with plenty of their peers that they might overlook. And these places usually have a strong sense of community, a surplus of bars and restaurants and an array of music and culture. (Of course, these are features that everyone could get used to, no matter what age.)

Sound too good to be true? CNNMoney combed through their list of best places to live to identify the 25 youngest towns that are chock full of twentysomethings. #1 on the list has a median age of only twenty.
