Reply to I am looking for 3bd houses in an excellent (8+ rating) school district in Massachusetts, with good community/neighborhood. I work in Cambridge thus wanted to keep commuting distance under 1hr. Can you suggest few good towns and approx. house price. Thanks!!! by AloneManagement8650

Budget needs to be double what you have now if you want good schools and a home that doesn't need major work within commuting distance.

Please don't! Get some / any insurance.. it might sound like a lot but regular health exams are probably covered and even if there is no catastrophic incident that requires it, you will benefit from medical exams. Best wishes

Reply to comment by movdqa in Dozens of cities and towns are facing their first big deadline to comply with a new state law that requires them to legalize more homes near MBTA stations. In Weston, a notoriously exclusive suburb, town officials met this morning to discuss how they might comply with the new rules: by streetsblogmass

>The average household income in Weston is $302,694 with a poverty rate of 7.70%. The median rental costs in recent years comes to - per month, and the median house value is -. The median age in Weston is 45.1 years, 44.6 years for males, and 45.5 years for females.

There's also 3 other train stations kinda close. City does not do sewers I believe. "meet the parents" altar delivery scene 😂

Reply to Someone at work tried telling there’s schools with litter boxes for students who identify as cats or furries. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of this? Buy first hand knowledge have you seen it yourself or at least a photo? I’m looking for someone to say I heard it from so and so. by lectrician7

Some idiot listened to Tucker Carlson on Fox News or some other news media for idiots and seeded thus rumor into some god fearing conservative mom. No better way to spread misinformation.

PLEASE VOTE in your local elections so these idiots don't get elected into school boards and stuff.

Get some insulation board and tighly seal it. It is an easy DIY project. Check around windows and doors and make sure you get some of the trim that goes around the doors and windows to let them close completely.

Our home is new and has blown in insulation, but the unused fireplace was causing at least a 20 degree temp difference despite the damper being closed.

I think you have to either forgo the large yard or the proximity to the airport. Both of those are not possible unless you can stretch that 900k to about 1.8 or so. Cost of living is much much higher than most other places.

Traffic really blows, but if you work from home, that shouldn't be an issue. Parking can be pretty expensive in Boston (about 25-50 a day). Most people take the train.

The good thing is that there is a half decent transit system (commuter rail and the T) if you can be close to one of these, then it shouldn't be too bad to get to the airport. Driving to the airport is def not recommended.

If you're moving away because of the political climate, I'd also look to see how the areas here are voting. There are some areas where you can see the same sort of people here as well. Look into how the town votes and that should give you an idea.

Most people are nice!
