The new year is right around the corner and maybe you are thinking of making a fresh start somewhere new. New Year, New You right? If you are single and looking to find your soul mate maybe I can help.

Zillow compiled a list of cities best for singles to live in based on rent and the number of singles in the area. They also only looked at America's biggest cities. One of the most significant factors in the ranking was the cost of living. It obviously would be attractive for singles if they couldn't afford to live there. Let's take a look at the top ten. The good news for Texans is you won't have to go too far considering four Texas cities made the top 10.

10.  Boston, $2,788.  That's over $500 more than Seattle.  So it's definitely the least affordable on the list.

9.  Washington, D.C., $2,231.  Again, it's expensive, but not if you land a high-paying job.

8.  Seattle, $2,265.  It's the second most expensive in the top ten.  But the median income is higher than in a lot of other cities.

7.  Dallas, $1,791.  So that's four Texas cities.  In sheer numbers, Dallas has the most single people of any city in the top ten.  It's also the last one on the list, under two grand a month.

2.  Austin.  It's $1,869 a month, so almost double the rent in Wichita.  But it's got lots of single people.

LOOK: Here are the best lake towns to live in

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.
