Moving To Boston Soon

[Mark Pijanowski]

My wife and I recently got into Real Estate. We purchased our first home here in Germany and are getting ready to PCS to Boston (military). I'll be working at FEMA and am looking for a reasonable suburb to commute from. We're looking to use the VA Home Loan Guarantee for this purchase (so no money down). Initially, we're looking for a LIVABLE SFH or MFH that we can renovate while living in it. Ultimately, we're looking for an up and coming neighborhood with good schools. We just don't know enough about the city to make a solid decision. If anyone has experience in the Boston market, we're happy to hear your input.

Where is the FEMA office building located? What kind of time commute do you want? Do you want to bike, drive or take the train (either commuter rail or subway)? As a longtime resident of Massachusetts I can’t stress enough how important it is to consider distance in time rather than miles.
