Members JBecker Posted May 12, 2010 Members Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hey Folks, Well if all goes well one of my two recent interviews will work out and I'll be moving up to Boston next year. I've got a few opportunities to stay in Providence but may end up living in Boston and commuting down here either way. So my friend is going to be going to BC for his master's and have a low budget, but I should be making fairly good money and I'll either be working in Watertown or right by the northern part of the Boston Commons between Downtown Crossing and Government Center. Alright-- what do I need to know about Boston neighborhoods. Where's the best place to live as a couple of young 20-somethings that doesn't break the bank and has easy access to the above places. What kind of prices should I be looking for? Where do I absolutely have to be {censored}ing hanging out to make the most of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of whining to deal with. first thing's first - don't admit that in public. i'm from upstate ny, lived in the city for while, and i lived in boston for 2 years, and the bizarre hate between ny and boston is over the top, but it's a lot more aggressive on the boston side. at job interviews the first question was "so are you a yankee fan?" and they were serious. it's on another level.

In the interest of fairness, let's be clear here. In the Fens after hours, you get mugged by the homeless, and raped by the gheys.

Members thermionic geek Posted May 12, 2010 Members Share Posted May 12, 2010 There is nowhere cheap to live in Boston. Anything inexpensive wil be in a {censored}ty neighborhood. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JBecker Posted May 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 13, 2010 There is nowhere cheap to live in Boston. Anything inexpensive wil be in a {censored}ty neighborhood. Good luck. Compared to what? Compared to NY where I'm from? It's pretty reasonable. Compared to Providence where I've lived the last five years? It's a little more expensive, but doesn't seem to be ridiculously so considering how much more urban it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SnowStorm Posted May 13, 2010 Members Share Posted May 13, 2010 South Boston is a good place to live that is a little bit reasonable and has a lot going on for 20 yr olds. Also, check out Cambridge. Allston and Brighton are also places that you could live. Those are my recommendations. Yes, they are all a little bit expensive but that's the way it goes in the city.
