The area features strong public schools, abundant recreational options including the Charles River trail system and nearby Lake Cochituate, and a cost of living more manageable than Boston proper. The MetroWest corridor is a well-established, family-friendly region with a diverse community and easy commuter rail access to downtown Boston.
