Job in Arlington. Where are the affordable family areas?
Taking a job in Arlington in June and will be relocating with my family (children ages 4 & 2) and would like to know of affordable (by MA standards) areas that offer good schools / safety / etc... Prefer a commute that is under an hour each way? We will have to rent for the first year, but would prefer to rent in a family neighborhood? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks...

Look no farther than Arlington itself. Really. It's a nice town. Why commute if you don't have to?

if the job is there, stay in Arlington, or maybe look at bedford! Why waste the commute, and the stress! Arlington, has alot going!

Thanks
I have heard that Arlington is quite pricey? My housing budget would only be arond 1750-2000 month for rent? I didn't think that was doable in Arlington for a decent size rental???

It's doable. I live in Arlington. Great town, very good schools, extremely safe and walkable.

I think in that price range, you can get a nice 2br, maybe even with an office, or a so-so 3br in Arlington.

Belmont has a great school system, and is a nice area for families. Alrington is great too!! Lexington is worth a shot as well. I rent a 2 bedroom in Watertown for $1400. I think it's cheaper then Arlington/Belmont/Lexington. It's modern apartment, and there's a lot of young families in the neighborhood. I don't know how the school system is though. Good luck!
