    "One of the best in the country because it offers 32 ferries per day into downtown Boston! It’s sort of a secret. But one of the best commutes. Coffee and bagels on the way into work. And a wet bar on the ferry ride home. Life is good "

    "I’ve lived here for nearly 14 years and it is a nice neighborhood. It’s quiet and a safe place to take walks or run. It’s centrally located to Boston and surrounding areas in addition to Plymouth which is a straight shot down route 3. Plenty of shops and grocery stores within a few miles but definitely easier to have a vehicle vs rely on public transportation. "
