Not sure if you've looked south of Boston, for whatever reason it often is overlooked. I've never really seen the appeal of the north shore.

I moved to Canton just before covid, and love it here. The school system is great, I have 2 kids in elementary. The Asian population here is surprisingly abundant (am also Asian). It's pretty diverse for a suburb outside Boston, which was important to me when I was looking. 95 and 93 are closeby. Lots of food and shopping areas nearby: Univeristy Station (Wegman's, Target, Home Goods), Legacy Place (Costco!!!), Patriots Place all within a 15 minute drive depending how close you are to 95 or 93. Closest Asian market however would be in Randolph. I usually just go to Quincy to shop at Kam Man or H Mart though. Blue Hills is very close by for hiking. Real estate tax is also cheaper than most other towns which is nice.
