Region: Greater Boston
The Best of Both Worlds The Inner Suburbs are for those who aren’t ready to say goodbye to the city, but are ready for a bit more breathing room. These immediate “city-suburbs” offer a seamless urban-to-suburban transition, characterized by tree-lined residential streets, high-performing school districts, and enough yard space for a garden or a swing set—all while remaining a 15-minute T ride or a short drive from downtown. Our focus here is on finding the “forever home” that still feels connected: the approachable post-war Capes, the grand turn-of-the-century Victorians, the sturdy, historic Colonials, and the walkable village centers that make community life feel both effortless and intentional.
