Reply to Short-term rental around UMass Chan area by Dexiade
Lots of colleges in that area and students are out of school May - September. You may be able to sublet for the summer. I guess you would probably need a car, though, as most schools are not walking distance.

Also consider Manchester. Edit - kind of a long drive, but way easier than driving to Logan and easy in and out.

Reply to Let’s talk heat pumps by Dmurphy2016
Central Mass. Primary heat source is oil furnace. A couple years ago we installed a mitsubishi ductless heat pump and ac.
1 heat pump /1 register for the whole first floor. 1 heat pump/3 registers for each bedroom upstairs.
Electric heat is expensive! We do not run them all the time. We keep the heat (oil) around 60. We'll turn on a heat pump in one room just to take the chill off for 15 min or so as needed.
Side note. Our neighbors built an apartment above the garage for the mil. Mitsubishi heat pump / ac. It's the only source of heat. $900 monthly electric bill!

I wonder when all these seniors living alone in their great big family homes will finally start taking on roommates and cohabitating

Reply to I'm moving out to New Hampshire for university, what do you guys think is the best part of living in the state, and what's the worst? by Henry_Privette
The best part is nature. 4 seasons of outdoor fun. You're going to want to take up skiing, mountain biking, and running.
Worst part maybe the snow and cold? Make sure you have sturdy winter boots and a parka.
