Relocating to Hanscom from Denver (Boston, Cambridge: apartments, to buy, middle school)

[jackstone]

Good evening,

Next summer I am starting a new assignment to Hanscom AFB. I will be moving from Denver, CO. I'm looking for recommendations of places to live knowing that I will probably not be here longer than four years.

My work will probably take me to MIT Lincoln Labs on a fairly regular basis. Therefore I will probably want to live in Cambridge proper but I realize that I will have to commute to Lexington 1/2 the time.

I'll be 24, and am single & male. Was looking for resources besides Craigslist and realtor.com to find roommates/apartments/maybe a place to buy if feasible.

I'm originally from PA, went to college in PA so I understand the northeastern mentality. I'm wondering if there are any drastic cultural differences in working world bw Boston and Philadelphia/DC/NYC. I've only been to Boston once, when I was in middle school.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

MIT/LL is on the border of Hanscom AFB, next to the base entrance. I'm moving to MA from CA, in mid-october due to a new postion I am taking on at MIT/LL. Only if you are going to be working with MIT (college) will you need to go to Cambridge.


Best Wishes to you on your relocations !!
