Friends of mine who live near Boston told me to stay as far away from Lynn as possible. Is it really that bad?

Revere could also be a good option, it's on the ocean and you can take the blue line into boston, but I wouldn't find it as convenient as Malden. I'm not really familiar with it. As far as south of Boston, you might want to check out Braintree, which has a long commute, but it's a nice place. It will be a lot pricier probably though. The suburbs south of Boston in my experience are more expensive than other places.
I've noticed that too - south of Boston is quite pricey. Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Lynn's not that bad. People are probably going to say bad things about everyplace.

Looking for more opinions about East Boston and Somerville (Winter Hill). Is there demand for housing in these areas?
