Medfield is a great town. Canton itself wouldn't be bad, either. Not as nice as Medfield, but maybe a little cheaper.

Right off 93 (it technically stops being 128 at the Rt. 1 split in Westwood). Dunkin' Brands headquarters, Reebok Headquarters, Rockport Headquarters, Computershare Office, Boston Mutual Life Insurance Headquarters. It's a huge complex.

I worked a few miles south of Rte 93/128 on Route 138 (Turnpike Street) for 20 years. Traffic can be bad there sometimes, especially during weather events. It can literally take hours to move a mile or two on Rte 138 in snow. There are few alternate options.

What do you consider affordable? In the absence of a budget Canton makes the most sense. It may be too expensive or you may be able to afford somewhere with better schools. Where will he be working?
