I got a job opportunity in Cambridge, but I am having a hard time finding rentals within my price range. I currently own a home in NJ and until I sell it I don't want to go over $1600 for a 3 bedroom rental. Interested areas are Framingham, Waltham, Somerville, Belmont, Boxford or JP

Am I being unrealistic about my price range? MA's cost of living is much higher than North Jersey

I did a quick check on Craigslist, and there do seem to be options in your price range. Check out this page:

boston all apartments classifieds "waltham" - craigslist.

I entered Waltham as the search location, but most of the listings that turned up were in Newton. One was in Wellesley. Both are very affluent towns, where the schools have outstanding reputations, if your kids are old enough for that to be an issue. Newton in particular is also well located for a commute to Cambridge, while the commute from Wellesley would be okay. I'm not sure how many places you'll need to choose from to find the best fit, but it does appear that there are some options that would meet your basic criteria.
