It's doable in that you can do it.

Your tolerance for sitting in a car is going to be the question. There is no public transportation or even a good option. I guess if you didn't need a car in Providence you could take on the expense of leaving a car at the 128 station in Westwood take the train there then drive the last 10 miles but that seems...well silly.

I would personally not do it but I get not wanting to live in the burbs and also not paying for Boston prices. But if you think the commute isn't doable from here after all, one area you might want to look is the area of Newton north of I-90 or even in Watertown.

I’ve actually thought about Watertown. I just haven’t really looked at much rental listings in the area yet. Thank you so much for the recommendations though from a local perspective.

I had a friend who lived off of Pearl St. in Newton for a reasonable price. Of course that reason came with he needed to take the bus or drive into town, compared to being close to a light rail line (which is great but pricey)
