When presented with questions about socioeconomic issues, it's always helpful to have some strong data to share. Here are a few highlights I thought would be useful to folks looking to relocate to Boston.

Tucked in a box of used books my father-in-law gave us was a great little book called Relocation Boston. It includes a fun graphic designed to help those moving to the Boston area decide which towns they could afford. It color codes home values (circa 1986). Everything coded in green was a quick glance at Boston towns with "homes found under $100K". Those were the days!

Yesterday I wrote about some of the most desirable neighborhoods in Hopkinton among relocating professionals. But you don't need to be a high-powered executive to afford to live in Hopkinton. Here are three of my favorite Hopkinton neighborhoods with a more affordable price tag. (Well, affordable for the Boston suburbs anyway! :-)

I absolutely adore living in the Boston area. I'm a short train ride away from the inspiring Boston Symphony Orchestra, a night out to see the Celtics or the Bruins, shopping at the best vintage clothing stores, a leasurely stroll along the Charles River, or whatever activity catches my fancy.
When my twin comes to visit, a trip to the North End is always essential to pick up some over-the-top pastry and check out Greenough Lane where our family lived. (Yes, there were a few of us Irish in the North End at one time!)
Then it's off to get a rasberry lime rickey and hit the road for the Cape! If you haven't been to the Cape yet, it's a perfect escape...but try to avoid the Friday traffic. It can be brutal. It's worth the drive though. Head past the tacky arcades and shops and eventually you'll find unspoiled beaches.
I thought I'd share pictures of a few of my favorite things about living in the Boston area. These are mostly the City of Boston. Later I'll post more of the wonderful places that are a short drive away. Hope you enjoy! And please feel free to add your own.
