Honestly check out Bellevue and Brighton Heights. Fairly close to North Shore and it will alleviate many of your concerns about noise/safety and you’ll have a lower cost of living.

If you want a safe and quiet (by city standards) place to live I would also suggest Brighton Heights or Bellevue. My wife and I have been in Brighton Heights for 3 years and enjoy it. Nice homes, nice sense of community, and it's close enough to the North Shore to enjoy all the amenities. For context- to get from here to where you were looking at staying it's a ~10 minute bus ride or 20 minute bike ride (less if you're fast). Or an easy Uber ride if you'd rather do that.

Bellevue is also very nice and has its own little "main street" area with lots of amenities (it's also very close to Brighton Heights, which opens up your options if you choose to live in BH). But it's a bit further from the city. Not much further, but if you're trying to get there without a car for a night of drinking or whatever it does make a slight difference.

Lol not BH... it's still under PPD and is highly ignored by them. Has everyone just forgotten about the church shooting at the funeral of another shooting? Gang violence seeping into the neighborhood comstantly. At least Bellvue is safer and has its own PD

In regards to this topic, Brighton Heights isn’t one place.

Go to Zillow and look at Brighton heights recently sold properties. It’s pretty obvious what I’m talking about.
