    "Awesome area! Very close to highways and transportation but just far enough so you don't hear it or get impacted by it. Quiet neighborhood, very family and pet friendly. Everything you need is nearby and it takes about 10min to get into Boston. Neighborhood is kept up nice too which is great. "
