If I were in your shoes, I'd consider 4 nearby towns: Wakefield, Reading, North Reading and Lynnfield. I would rate North Reading somewhat higher than Reading. Lynnfield has great schools and nice neighborhoods, but you'll have to leave town for all of your business needs. I hear that they're trying to get a town center planned, not sure how well that's going with the ecomonic downturn. Your price range should get you a nice 3 or 4 BR home in any of those places. Welcome (back) to Massachusetts!

My family is originally from the South Shore, but I was a bit worried about going through the city each day to get to Revere.
Thanks!
