We are raising three kids in the city. Being able to walk to a yacht club and sail in Boston Harbor is terrific. We want them to meet people who are different, and we want them to see what life is like for junkies, not try designer drugs at parties because they're bored.. They take the T all over the place with friends. They make $12-15 per hour babysitting. They attend two of the highest rated HS's in the state.
Brighton has some good parts but a lot of exploitive landlords. Not someplace people stay long after college.
We have some tenants who are single guys. They're dorks - with gorgeous gf's. I lived in NH and the burbs after college - dumb.
HOV. Lanes are no problem, plenty of room.
