The biggest thing to me is it will be right next to a train line so you have to be comfortable with that. Also it’s not close to the T in case you plan to use that. There’s not a ton of places to go within walking distance, though Dorchester brewing is good. It is convenient being close to South Bay. Just take a walk around the neighborhood and see what you think from that.

This is great advice. Currently live in the Midwest which is part of why I wanted to throw the question out there. I did the Google street walk around the block but it’s just not the same.

Sure, don’t know if this makes sense for you but I stayed at a long term Airbnb a couple months while house hunting. Check out your commute times on google-you’re close to commuter rail but it doesn’t run as often as the T. There are plenty of sidewalks and not too much traffic over there for dog walking. There are also some nice small parks and playgrounds in Roxbury. In terms of places to go out, there are more over by the Savin hill station. But if you don’t mind driving a little bit there’s plenty of stuff in south end.
