Where is the best place to live around Boston?|177891

I have lived in Boston for 5 years and in the same place for 3. I_d like to move out of the city, somewhere quiet, but close enough for job opportunities. I was thinking Malden, but I_m not sure. I also don_t drive, so it needs to be somewhat near the T. What do you recommend?

Newton is one of the safest cities in America; if not the safest indeed. Cambridge is a university town, so it would be great if your job involved higher education.

everett

ive lived in malden it became very dark/dirty
everett is nice and clean good schools,their building a very huge nice high school, they have alot of parks
but alot of fires o.0

Newton, I lived in Newton, and its a really great little community. Its on the D line, and still quiet and has a surburban small time feel.

Watertown, its a 15 min drive to Boston, and it has some cute little places. And the real estate has a really good value. Its easy to get to other places and there are a good deal of parks in the area. Their are lots of busses and it connects to T lines.

Stoneham. Or is that too far?
