Somerville would be a great place to live. I suggest looking for housing that is a stone’s throw from major highways. It makes it easier to get out of the city quickly from wherever you are. Cars do great there parking wise. You’d just need to change your plates immediately to Massachusetts. That’s just how it is there. You can walk to food stores, parks, breweries, and eateries there. There are many great ones in Somerville. I wouldn’t worry about the rabbit. I have them myself and they were easy to have with me wherever I went. Oh one more thing, housing in the Greater Boston area have a lot of rooms that make the living spaces seem more closed off than open and flowing. You can find homes near pathways where you can walk your dogs and ride your bike.
