I am relocating to MA/RI from South Jersey. My company has offices in Easton and I will be joining the team there. I've heard how bad Brockton is by some.... and nice by others.... My wife and 2-yr old live 20 minutes from Philly so what you call terrible I might call normal. I just want a place that is family friendly, that is easy to build friendships and have a good life.
I'm budgeting $1,000-1,200 for rent. Is that reasonable or naive?
Easton is a beautiful town. I'd live there. Norton and Mansfield are nearby, though Norton's schools aren't that great. Mansfield's schools are wonderful.
