I've lived in Boston for 4 years now. For perspective I'm originally from Florida. The T is awful. The trains do not stick to their schedule so it's slow and unreliable. The trains are also overheated in the winter and the A/C is always broken in the summer. Just be sure to live within walking distance of your work. The weather is pretty bad. It's definitely beautiful here, but it often rains in the Spring and Fall. It's one of those light drizzles that lasts for days kind of rain. We're having it right now. Meh. You don't need to commute 45 minutes to find a nice place. I live in Belmont now, just 2 miles west of Harvard Square. I rent out the first floor of a 2 story house (2br, 1 bath, living room, dining room, kitchen, back yard with porch, drive way) for only $1050 a month. The previous tenants were a family with 1 kid and dog. Also, 2 of my neighbors each have 2 kids so it seems family friendly. Definitely safe, quiet, etc, etc. I'm moving though... want to take it? hehe. Contact info in profile if you have any questions.
