After some craziness at work I am heavily toying with the idea of relocating DH and I to my Boston office to work, so I need some advice from those of you who live in and around Boston.
My office there is located right next to the Courthouse by the water (off the Silver Line). I know this is a broad question, so I''ll apologize in advance- where would be some good places to look at living? We''re currently spending way too much in rent here in SF and I would really rather buy a condo or so, but don''t want to spend more than $200k and I don''t know if you can get a 2bd condo for that much money in Boston. If we have to rent then so be it.
DH and I are in our late twenties/early thirties and enjoy live music (jazz, alt, etc), definitely do not to nightclubs but love a good local pub or neighborhood bar. DH says ideally we could walk to the pub like we''ve been able to in all our previous residences
haha
I want a really good neighborhood feel without feeling isolated and alone OR surrounded only by families with kids (because we dont have any).
I would also like to be able to take the subway to work, so that is another something to think about. Oh and DH teachs college english classes so being near community colleges would also be a necessity.
I don''t think we would move until the summer (because of DH''s teaching schedule) but that doesn''t mean I wont stop obsessing until it gets closer.
So, do you guys have any ideas I should look into? Also if you think my hopes are unreasonable you can tell me that too! Any advice would be very helpful! Thank you!
