[quote=Anonymous]Wow, can't believe my hometown was mentioned on DCUM (Westborough!) You can live in the Framingham area much less expensively than in DC or NOVA. An older 3 or 4 br house in a town with good schools (like Westborough) will probably run you somewhere in the $300-400k range, although obviously you can spend a ton more if you want. Framingham itself is probably cheaper. Rents would be commensurately lower than here as well, although there are also correspondingly fewer particularly in the small towns. There are lots of other nice small towns near Framingham, like Hopkington.

If you've got a spouse's career to consider, the commute to Boston isn't totally fun but lots of people do it. There is a commuter rail that runs via Framingham all the way west to Worcester, with stops at most of the towns. The time in Boston via commuter rail from Westborough is 1.5 hours; in the car without traffic it is usually in the 40 min range but can take much longer during rush hour. The roads throughout this area tend to be small and clogged, but living in any of the small towns near Framingham would be a perfectly reasonable commute.

Just one other thought: if you're interested in teaching the deaf, have you considered Clark School out in Northampton? It's beautiful and has all the nice liberal arts colleges around so the area does attract a lot of interesting smart people, plus the COL there is even less than the Metrowest/Boston area. [/quote]
