Marshfield or Pembroke MA for first time buyers??
Marshfield vs Pembroke. Which would you prefer? Marshfield is closer to Boston and has better commuter options, good schools, and great community recreation programs, but a much higher crime rate. Pembroke is more rural feeling, is chock full of beautiful lakes and ponds, and has almost no crime. We'd be settling for a much smaller house in Pembroke because it's such a lovely, safe location. But coming from Boston, is the crime in Marshfield so bad that it would outweigh a skatepark and sailing lessons for the future young'uns? What would you prefer and/or suggest for a first time buyer who can't decide between the two communities? What are the positives and negatives of each place, from your personal experience? Thanks!
