I love living in my ocean-view house, and Weymouth makes my morning commute a breeze. Check out the Irish-rich community if nearby or looking to relocate!
My husband worked for years (and still does freelance entertainment writing) for the Boston Herald. That commute from NH was 120 miles roundtrip. Needless to say commuting to Boston is not always fun. Thankfully he worked odd hours and had to be in there by 6am, so he'd get up at 4:30am to make it on time.
I wouldn't commute to Boston without public transit. Natick, it's a real breeze (like 30m) except you get the joy of dealing with the worst commuter rail train in the state by number of delays. It's because if the Worcester to Boston CSX train runs a tiny bit late, everything is delayed.
