[quote=Anonymous] I lived in Boston for years and now live just outside of Old Town. If you like a more urban lifestyle, Brookline is great, but VERY expensive for very old homes. Great schools, among the best in the country. Commute would be ok, if you can take the T. Green line to red line than a bit of a walk from South Station. Driving would be nightmare, especially if you have to pay for parking.

Newton and Needham are more suburban, but you get more space, great schools and a decent commute either by T or commuter rail. Lexington, Concord and Belmont are also fairly accessible by commuter rail and have a lot of character. If public school isn't a huge concern, West Roxbury and Hyde Park are decent. South Boston has become very hip, but expensive for what you get.

Generally, If you will be working a fairly regular schedule, it is probably worthwhile to look at communities that are accessible by train via South Station.

I envy you. I'd move back to Boston in a minute, snow and all![/quote]
