When you're considering moving to a new area, whether it's to start a family or for job reasons, one of the things to consider is not just the house itself but the neighborhood that the house is part of. Is it a safe neighborhood? How are the neighbors? Is it close to any areas of city or town crime? What is the nearest school like? One could argue that the neighborhood is just as important as the house and property. A Massachusetts neighborhood may be the right fit for you. It's certainly one of the most popular.
