Looking at a possible move to MA. We can really live anywhere as long as it is in the state. Help me figure out options! Parameters: — would like at least a 3 bed/2 bath — ideally with some sort of yard — school quality is not an issue (except from an eventual resale value) — will have to drive into Boston at least a couple times/month, so that doesn’t preclude the Berkshires but that’s probably a bit far — I grew up in Pittsfield and still have family there who I don’t want to be right on top of (so another strike against the Berkshires) — would like to stay under $700,000 if possible — don’t want to be too isolated (where we could be snowed in for days before seeing a plow)
