Default ISO input/advice on: Braintree, Bridgewater, Canton, Holbrook, Milton, & Stoughton

We are moving out of Boston in a few months looking at these 6 areas. If you have helpful info on any of these it would be appreciated (crime/safety, neighborhoods, etc.). One of us works in S. Walpole and the other in Hingham. We are renting for the time being, but are looking at buying w/in a year or so.

Thanks in advance!

We are in the process of moving out of Holbrook, and I would suggest being careful in deciding to move here. If you plan to rely on town services, you should make yourself fully aware of the town's current financial problems before buying. We are leaving to find a better public school system for our son. Every town in MA is currently facing budget cuts, but Holbrook seems to be in more trouble than most.

Bridgewater is undergoing severe financial problems. The library has been decertified by the state. Home

Parts of Stoughton, Canton and Milton are very nice. You may want to do a search of the message boards here. You should be aware that towns closest to Brockton tend to have more problems with certain types of crime.

Default My opinion on Canton

I have lived in Canton and taught in the school system for 15 years....have two daughters off to college and both were accepted to very good (even an IVY league) colleges. I've been happy with the quality of public education here...just passed an override in town so that educational quality can be maintained. Sharon does boast higher overall SAT scores than Canton, but the taxes are astronomical! (We have friends that live there!) The traffic in Canton is increasing because of growing industry in Stoughton and Westwood causing many people to use residential neighborhoods as cut through roads.Now that my girls are off to college, I'm entertaining moving to North Carolina...if your interested in real estate!!!!
