This may be obvious but the closer you are to the highways(especially 93/293/Everett turnpike) the more expensive houses will be. Not sure what you're budget is but expect to pay at least $400k.

The further away from the highways you can get, and especially north of concord the prices will start to drop with some exceptions.

Whats more important to you, accessibility to the lakes and mountains or Boston?

You should be able to find some school rankings online to give you an idea of what's good or not

This is really helpful. Our price range is 500-650k. We're more interested in lakes and mountains than Boston. We're already 35-40 min from DC and we rarely go into the city. Someplace where I can commute easily (i.e. less than an hour each way) and has a nice downtown area.

650k is a healthy budget. You should be able to find a pretty nice place for that
