Good alternative to Somerville

We just moved here last year because we could not afford Somerville. We wanted space (reluctantly moving from NYC we at least wanted space) and would have only been able to buy a condo in Somerville. Everett is no longer cheap either but definitely more affordable than its neighbors Somerville, Medford, and Malden. We own a cute house in West Everett. Everett is more diverse than Somerville, has great access to Boston (via the T!) and even offers a small brewing and distilling scene. Plus, you can bike to the ocean on a trail that takes you through marshes. Lastly, there's a playground on just about every corner. What's missing? A decent independent coffee shop. Oh, and fewer chain-link fences would be nice.
