RELOCATING TO BOSTON

Boston is unlike any other city in America. What it lacks in area, it makes up for in personality. That’s why millions of people from across the world consider moving to Boston on a yearly basis. Many visitors remark that Boston reminds them of Europe. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the city features historical landmarks wherever you turn. Maybe it’s due to the beautiful architecture that features stunning Victorian buildings and charming brownstones. It could also be based on the cramped and winding cobblestone streets. However, there’s certainly more to Boston than the history and old-world charm. Relocating to Boston doesn’t have to be difficult – here are some things you need to consider when relocating to The Hub.

Fresh Air:

While some people are more into the outdoors than others, neighborhoods with green spaces can be much more comfortable for anyone to live in. Oftentimes parks are more than just a place to hold picnics—many have local events such as farmers markets or neighborhood parties. Not only are these events fun on your own, but they are also a great way to get to know your neighbors! In many Urban areas of Greater Boston, lots of people prefer parks to a backyard because there is less maintenance and larger spaces to enjoy outdoor activities. It’s also a lot easier to meet people and get involved in a pick up game of flag football or basketball. Outdoor space is definitely one of the more sought after neighborhood amenities.

Commuting Time:

If you are researching neighborhoods, chances are one of the first things you look into is how long the commute will be. Instead of just looking at time, it is important to look into the ease of the commute as well. For example, a bus stop could be right down the street from you, but if that bus is never on time it is not going to be a good amenity. Whether you are traveling to work, school, or anywhere in between it is important to research how comfortable and reliable your commute will be! There are also great new apps out there to check out that can predict when your Public transportation is coming so you can finish up your coffee at the right time and walk out the door without wasting a minute. If open space is your thing, you may want to consider outside of the city in neighborhoods like Arlington or Hopkinton.

Markets:

We’ve all been there—you get home after a long day only to realize you forgot to pick up the milk you need for dinner and toilet paper to restock the bathroom. In situations like this, there is no overestimating the convenience of having retail shops and grocery stores/restaurants nearby. It’s always nice to have a good mix of places to buy groceries and places to get take out. One of the awesome things about Boston is that almost the entire city has a 90+ walkability rating. If you are moving outside of the city, contact us and we can help you find the perfect spot

Preferences:

The reason different neighborhoods have their own unique culture and features is because everyone has different tastes, education, and work responsibilities. People move to specific areas for reasons such as nightlife, schools, art galleries, shopping and more. Of course, there are also deal breakers that could keep you away from a certain neighborhood. If you are into history and old homes, you probably you will likely gravitate to Back Bay or the South End. On the contrary if you like luxury, concierge buildings, Seaport will be a better choice Make a list of your personal deal breakers, and rank them from most to least important. This will be incredibly helpful in helping you make the final choice of where to move!
