Hello,

I am starting a job this June in Bridgewater, and am looking for a house to rent for 1 year. I have a very limited budget (~$500) per room, so I've been forced to look at towns like Taunton. I've pretty much decided to stay away from Brockton, although it would be closer to my job. I see that East Taunton was suggested as a good area in Taunton. What are the Streets/Areas that I should stay away from (street names would be helpful because I am not familiar with the town) and/or the safe areas I should look for houses in? Any opinions on rayham or middleboro?
Thank you!

You could probably find a 2-3 bedroom somewhere not in Taunton.

Anyways, I would avoid apartment complexes (especially on the southern part of 140 aka County St)...

For houses: the further away from the downtown area the better. I've heard East Taunton isn't bad (which I believe is East of Route 24), and the further north you are (closer to 495), the better. You'll have to look at a map and the less "congested" areas are better.

If you're looking specifically for houses, check craigslist... watch out for scams though. Anyone who says "I'm overseas, just go ahead and take a peek through the windows and see if you like it" is an obvious scam.

A quick look on Zillow shows this is the only house available within your range: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/76...57197169_zpid/ ... in Lakeville though. Not sure how far you are willing to commute (roughly 20 minutes to Bridgewater?)
