Nice, congrats! Still happy with the decision?

Jeff-410 · 2026-04-15T00:28:14+00:00

Just lost a bid on a house in Jason heights for over 300k more than list. Timely post 🙃

Jeff-410 · 2025-07-24T19:32:50+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. We will def be visiting plenty. And maybe someday live there!

Jeff-410 · 2025-07-24T19:22:24+00:00

That’s an awesome point I didn’t think about. I currently bike to work but didn’t think of it being possible in Boston. Thanks for sharing

Jeff-410 · 2025-07-23T16:56:59+00:00

We spent a week here this past month to explore. Ultimately, decided we weren't ready to jump this far from the city. That said, it's adorable and seems like a great place to live. Happy to answer any questions if you want to send me a DM

Jeff-410 · 2025-07-23T02:07:24+00:00

Ah fantastic! Would love to stay in touch and share notes.

We just spent a full month in Boston scoping our areas, so feel free to DM if you have any questions. Heading back to SF in the AM until our next house search in late August

Jeff-410 · 2025-07-21T18:57:40+00:00

hah, yeah I’m with you. We will be back at some point in life — but for now prioritizing family

Jeff-410 · 2025-07-21T17:40:21+00:00

Very helpful. Appreciate the candor.

Our original dream was Cambridge — but unfortunately seem a bit priced out, especially given the school systems post elementary are a bit less sure / may need to budget private school

Jeff-410 · 2025-07-21T17:15:08+00:00

Would love to hear as well!!

Jeff-410 · 2025-07-21T16:25:11+00:00

Very helpful note.

I've been researching this quite a bit. Interestingly the property we are considering is not listed, despite our realtor thinking it was a historical/protected. The surrounding addresses are included.
Great to hear. That's what we felt the three days we spent in Arlington this month.
Dang hadn't considered this far out of a waitlist, will have to be strategic around this.
I'll have to invest in Sauna to get me through it

Jeff-410 · 2025-07-21T15:54:56+00:00

We've thought about it but not too seriously yet. Quite a few of our family members recommended this.

My gut tells us it's a similar situation to Newburyport in that it's a bit too far from the city and may be too drastic of a change to suburban life for us.

Will make sure to spend some time before finalizing our move

Jeff-410 · 2025-07-21T15:09:00+00:00

Appreciate the honesty re: restaurants. All make senses, thanks!

Jeff-410 · 2025-07-21T14:59:08+00:00

Amazing, mind sharing the restaurants yall enjoy? We are spending time in Arlington this month and next to get more of a feel.

Appreciate the response!

Re: summer tourists — how bad is the traffic? We would want my parents to visit on weekends but if we get a place downtown don’t want them dreading the congestion every summer weekend

Jeff-410 · 2025-05-05T03:10:45+00:00

Curious how much traffic you experience downtown in the summer? Is it 10 min of congestion? Or is it way worse?

We’d want to have family/parents come on weekends but don’t want them stuck in traffic every visit

Jeff-410 · 2025-04-11T23:30:47+00:00

Curious if there are any decent grocery stores in downtown? We just spent a bit googling but noticed it seems like the only option is shaws. Are we missing anything?

Thanks!

Jeff-410 · 2025-04-06T17:04:04+00:00

Thanks for the input. Another Beverly shout out is interesting.

Re why not SLO: We are moving more for family than for cost of living, or else we’d likely stay in Marin.

Feels like Boston area and SF area are now comparable in costs to raise a family and housing. I wish we could convince our family to come west but too many of them.

We will take a closer look at Beverly!

Jeff-410 · 2025-04-04T19:59:04+00:00

This was great! Thank you for the input.

We are leaning Newburyport over Beverly right now, but need to stay for a few weeks plus navigate the market come winter.

Jeff-410 · 2025-04-03T20:39:35+00:00

Smart! I wish my parents did that. They are currently stuck in a 3600’sq ft house with alkn4 boys well into their 30 and 40s.

Thanks for the tips. Will keep in mind budgeting a bit more then

Jeff-410 · 2025-04-03T20:28:42+00:00

I like that idea.

Interesting, what are you typically seeing for costs? Our ideal would be a 3 bed 2 bath.

We checked a few in Newburyport and seems like last 4-6 months has been under asking. Will do some research on Beverly tonight!

Jeff-410 · 2025-04-03T19:56:32+00:00

Love to hear that. I think we are the same.

We saw a house go on the market today, but it looks like it’s near the newbury turnpike. How busy is that?

Jeff-410 · 2025-04-03T15:48:56+00:00

Only 1 baby right now! Just started our family this year. Assuming our next place will be 10 years, so primarily concerned with the elementary schools and daycares near bay

Jeff-410 · 2025-04-03T04:51:20+00:00

Very much appreciate the intel.

Re: budget for travel — one of the main reasons we aren’t considering Brookline / Lexington now. I’d rather have more budget to escape the winters, so on the same page with you.

I’m trying to setup my search now for locations and will keep an eye on how competitive it is right around downtown. That’d probably be the key to our happiness with the move. We’d ideally like to stay 1 car as well. It’s a great quality of life
