A nice suburb of Boston

Westborough was rated among CNN money magazine's top 100 places to live. It is very nice for families. Virtually crime free. 15 minutes to Natick and 30-40 minutes to Boston. (Awful traffic at rush hour though)
If you are moving from anywhere other than a big metro area like NYC or Los Angeles, you will learn a hard lesson in cost of living. This is true for anywhere near Boston. Westborough is no different. Average decent house is $400,000 average rent for a 3 bedroom is $2,000.00. Average cost of daycare is $800-900 a month for one toddler.
Westborough schools are excellent. There is a sense of community and commitment to education.
Car insurance, electricity and groceries are all expensive compared to many states. State tax also takes a good chunk of your paycheck. Westborough gets more snow than Boston metro area and more freezing days. Lots of good shopping nearby. Many attractions within 1 hr of drive.
We moved to Westborough 5 years ago, but looking to move away from Massachussets due to cost of living being too high.
