What's as equally important to note is the young brain power in the area. Over 400k students in the city and its surrounding areas. Higher-education institutions like Harvard, M.I.T, Tufts, BC, BU, to name a few. You can also find cheap places to live in many parts of Boston. Lower cost of living in Boston than say, in NYC. If you really do need to get to NYC, you can vie for a train ride there (~200 miles).
