@mrs. bird: LOL we talked about the "-boroughs" at brunch! I just live in the wrong one ;/
-
@rachiecakes: Sigh. AND it's on the T. And so walkable, and fabulous schools. Where's my lottery ticket?
-
@rachiecakes: -land is nice! w. new--- is also nice =) kind of a happy medium! yea, -inton is def not on our list of towns we're looking at, or -burg!
-
Oh sweet lord now i am so confused.

I think DH and I did make compromises to stay in our dream town when we bought our house. It's not a fantasy dream town, but the one we both wanted to raise our family in for the sake of: excellent schools, family-oriented, plethora of eating and shopping, and distance to work and family. We could have gotten a MUCH larger house & yard if we had moved to nearby city north, south, or east, but we would sacrifice the lot size and space to stay here.
-
@Shutterbug: hahaha, yes! i may have gone to brunch again in your borough since then =D i'm hooked! maybe i can just get a scholarship to send kids to private school & move there just for the brunches =D
-
@mrs. bird: looked at a place in W.New up the road from where we are now but it was teeny tiny. glad we didn't go for it.
-inton has the worst school system ever. My parents took me out senior year and moved me to the NRegionalHS it was that bad in -inton. -
@mrs. bird: LOL that mac & cheese is totally worth private school tuition
-
We already live there! DH sacrificed a short commute but then switched jobs so we both have about a 20 minute commute now.
-
OK, I'm so confused by some of the MA town names! We've only lived in -oston (ha, can you follow that one??) and our next move most likely will be to one of the burbs, but I have no idea where, in what direction. Schools will be my top priority (will probably move out there when this LO is 3ish), but the way I figure it, we will have to sacrifice either:
money
sq footage
land (like, yards and stuff)
schools
taxes
commute (DH works in the city and in his line of work, it's pretty much guaranteed that he will only find a comparable job downtown, though he hopes to have more flexibility in hours and working from home at some point)Personally, right now I lean more towards shorter commute with less land, he is the opposite-- which is funny since he will be working and I'll be SAH for a while. --sbury is one of the towns he likes, but I think it's just way too far. We haven't even begun looking at schools though.
-
Well our "dream" town is DH's small little community he grew up in, the only way to live there is to build. My dream town is my hometown which is pricer but has a fabuous school, we will only move here though is if we can't afford to build. We have already decided our next home will be our forever home.

@Foodnerd81: Boston.com just had the Top 10 public schools in the state on the site.

@rachiecakes: I'm pretty shocked that Newton isn't on there!
