Reply to comment by Neil94403 in Moving to Greater Boston Area - Thoughts on Newton? by nomjs

I'd personally add Brighton to that list. It gets slept on but I think it's very nice, feels safe, and is more affordable than Newton or Brookline. Still easy to get to Brookline for the nicer restaurants.

It’s been 10 years since I lived there but I loved JP (Jamaica Plain). It’s part of Boston but there’s a lot of green space for walking/biking/running, etc. Much lower property taxes but the downside is dealing with Boston Public Schools or paying for private school. Worth a look though.
