Working & Living in Boston?

Question

Hello... I am from NY and currently looking for a new job. It's way difficult now as a lot of companies move on to another state since it's cheaper. I'm SO NOT ready to move to NJ cuz of it's horrible location and public transportation. I was thinking of trying out Boston though I've never been there but I'm willing to move there if I can find a job there. My problem is that I've never been there so I'm not sure exactly which places in Boston to look for. What I'm looking for is cheap rent, easy access to public transportation from home to job and anywhere exciting to explore. I'm hoping that the are will be safe and have cool people. I don't mind family area but hopefully it'll be within distance of laundromat, supermarket, bookstore or library. Oh, anything else I need to know about moving to Boston??? Please help. Thank you.

Answer 1

I don't think there's anything wrong with living in Boston, and I think the job market is pretty good right now. If you're looking for a specific area to live in, you might want to try just outside the city. You'll save yourself a ton of money, be safer, and have tons to do, and still be right on the T (the public transportation). Try checking out apartments in Cambridge, Somerville, Allston or Brighton. In general they are all young cities, with lots to do, and quick access to the city. Come for a visit first, and test out the job market before making any changes.

My son went to Emerson in Boston when I visited I thought it was a great town. Easy to get around, safe[ my son passed out on the subway at 11pm and still got home unhurt with his money]
at most every stop are places to shop, eat, drink, do washing.
Look for a job before you move.
Look for a place to live in the summer, Boston has maybe 100,000 students and finding a place after Sept. 1 can be hard
Really in the Beacon area there may be 3-4 small collages in one block
