[quote=Anonymous]We went through a similar decision just recently - upsize in JP and pay for private or move to Newton. We loved JP, but ultimately the economics just didn't make sense - given how prices are in JP, it's not like we would have had a war chest left over to pay for private school. So we ended up plowing money into a house in Newton instead and will go public. We miss JP but are happy with our decision so far. Of course, Newton isn't JP and it's not a fully urban lifestyle, but it's still probably the best of the close-in Boston suburbs (not counting Cambridge, Brookline, etc.) to still feel connected to the city. Note that you're not going to get to the financial district door-to-door in 30 mins from either place at peak rush. It's just not possible these days to get to downtown in <30 unless you live in the core.[/quote]
