Reply to comment by LadyGreyIcedTea in Moving to Boston - suburb recommendations? by Key-Emu5781

I would be at children's hospital. Trying to figure out the best place to live and it seems like my options are living West in Watertown/west Roxbury since there are some back roads to take or to live slightly North or in Quincy and take the T line to work. Which do you recommend?

I would live somewhere where you can take public transportation. You want to be on the green (D or E) or orange line. Parking costs for staff are astronomical to park at a satellite lot. At my last job (I was on site at the hospital but worked for an outside company and they reimbursed my parking), parking at Simmons College cost over $300/month. That was 5 years ago so I'm sure it costs more now.

When I was employed by the hospital, I took the D line when I lived in Brighton and the 39 bus when I lived in Roslindale. Nowadays when I go there I still leave 45 minutes (or more depending on time of day) to get there and I live exactly 5 miles away.
