Do you already have a place to live? Our son and his fiancé lived near Spy Pond, and it was a lovely place to live near. They moved to find a larger place (their place was literally about a 2575 sf apartment.). If you haven’t looked for an apartment/home yet, be prepared for sticker shock. There are some decent photos of Spy Pond here: https://leokrut.com/e-vault/album/spy_pond/park.html Schools are generally great. Eating out in Greater Boston is pricey, but there are lots of options. Highly recommend The Science Museum (reduced tickets at the library, or become members) - I really loved going there when our kids were little - there is a lot of Hands on, and it was easy to push a stroller while our older child explored. They have a room especially for young children. The best food stores : Market Basket in Somerville or Wegmans in Medford. I like the choices and prices at Costco, and there are a few around, but perhaps too far out for you?

Lol right? We’re living in a 1000 sq ft apartment in Arlington and it’s just becoming too small for us. 2500 sq ft would be a dream. So would buying in Arlington but with all the properties sitting solidly over 700k that’s impossible for us 🤷‍♀️
