Hello,

My wife and I are relocating to the North Shore in October. I will be working in Newburyport, and my wife will be working in Framingham. Does anyone have any advice/recommendations on places to rent between the two? All suggestions welcome.

Thank You!

Wow, that's quite a distance between your 2 job locations. I grew up in the Greater Framingham area and recently lived in the Greater Newburyport area so I know what is involved here.

The worst part of the commute for the two of you would be your wife's drive to and from Framingham from anywhere on the North Shore. The drive up and down Route 128 from any true North Shore towns is lousy. My brother-in-law lives in Marblehead and commutes to Framingham 5 days per week: he hates it.

You really want to consider living further out on the 495 belt which will make for a reasonable commute northwards for you to Newburyport and a tolerable drive to Framingham for your wife.

You don't mention a price range, but I would suggest looking in the Acton, Littleton, Chelmsford and Westford area. That would give each of you about a 50 minute drive which is pretty typical by Greater Boston commuting standards.
