If you work a typical 9 to 5 in Boston, you are well aware of the often harrowing state of the commute at times. But do not lose hope! Not all commutes were created equal, and some might be considered down right pleasant at times (ferry to work? don’t mind if I do!). The suburbs of Greater Boston are a fantastic choice for those seeking a family-friendly living environment with great schools and an abundance of green spaces without compromising convenient access to the city of Boston and all it has to offer. These five homes across Greater Boston offer all the benefits of suburban living with commutes that don’t frazzle the nerves. Well… not too frazzled at least!
