How long are you gonna be in Natick? Any plans for while you're there/not at ASD? This is the area I'd like to move to...it's close enough to my SO work that we can swing it and it's also a pretty easy commute to Boston from there.SeanORaff33 wrote:yo yo yo.

Yeah...I live not too far from there now. More West though. I went to HS in a town about 15/20 minutes from there.SeanORaff33 wrote:ashrice13 wrote:How long are you gonna be in Natick?

Ill be there from the end of the Friday event until Sunday morning I believe. Its a nice little suburbs, lots of shopping, they have a huuuuge mall. They are on the T and Commuter Rail. Rent, however, is basically just as bad as in the city. My buddy rents a 600 sqft studio for like 1200. The commute by car is actually pretty expensive. I thik its like 8 bucks or so each way with all the tolls. They have a few nice bars, but it really is very suburbian

I think you can definitely find better rent than that but you need to sacrifice on location/quality of apartment. You can also go next door to Framingham to rent an apartment in some shitty area for cheaper.
I would never drive in because of the tolls, etc. I'd take the commuter rail...I did the math before and I think it ends up cheaper than driving in (parking + Gas + tolls + wear and tear of vehicle) especially if you live close enough to walk to the station. Don't quote me on that though because I could be wrong.
Just wondering if you'd ever been before...sounds like you have! It's a pretty good location (though...I'd only live there for a lower rent).
Oh...no wonder he pays so much. Being right there with everything/next to 30 and 9 will definitely up your rent. Although, there are some serious benefits to that!SeanORaff33 wrote: I agree completely. He lives over by the furniture store, across from Target. Its right on the border and might actually be in Framingham. I love that they have their own Beerworks!
Haha, I totally get that.

Same! I'm actually really excited for it. I'll be commuting to Boston from central mass so it will be my first time trying the commute outBACsop wrote:Checking in. Will be at ASD on the 24th.

I'd take winter in Boston over summer in DC (or anywhere in the south).

It can definitely be humid but the bad humidity usually comes in waves so there's some relief.patrickkpaul wrote:I've never been to Boston in the summer, but Wikipedia says it runs about 70% Jun-Oct.Litt1tUp wrote:Does it get humid in Boston in the summer?
