I recieved a job offer for a job in boxborough. And I was looking for suggestions for where to live. I live in Attleboro now and the commute is long so I'd like to move out there(though from my research so far I much prefer Attleboro).
1 bedroom or studio
$750 or less(hopefully)
Closer to boston the better, however since I'm way to far for the T it doesn't really matter, close to work as possible. I'm 24 and single but it seems like Boxborough is very rural/suburban, I prefer urban with things to do for young people but it seems like I'm out of luck in this department. Looking for the most I can get for the money.
No kids so schools don't matter, only has to be reasonably safe.
There are plenty of apartments in both towns, esp. Acton, and as far as I know, they'd both be deadly for "young/single." All the outlying towns/suburbs are.
You might consider living in Arlington and driving west on 2 to work in Bboro. A much better place for a young person (and very safe) and, besides the restaurants/movie in East Arlington, very very close to Cambridge/Boston and all that a 24-year-old person could want. The drive west on Rt.2 is against business-hour traffic, so that shouldn't be a problem (I should know- I work third shift, and drive west on Rt.2 at rush hour in the morning- everyone lined up going east, I'm goint west).
Yes, I absolutely recommend East/Arlington Center. Any further into town is much more expensive (esp. car insurance) and a harder traffic mess to get to Rt.2.
Best wishes.
