You seem to relish telling people what to do, and tearing down others. Not my thing. I'm out.

I don't remember ever telling anyone to do anything. Show me where in this thread i did so.
I was giving my personal opinion on a place that I live. Sorry it didn't jive with your opinions.

It seems you are forgetting my most important of all suggestions though.

Except I'm being constructive, and I haven't forgotten anything. Thank you though. Please stop derailing the thread.

I don't like the Canton option. My brother lived there. It was a nightmare to get in and out of at all hours of the day. I think this will severely limit your access to Boston.
I can't really speak to the rest you listed.
+1

OP, should narrow list to Arlington, Natick and Dedham. Canton is more for families and pretty disconnected from even the bordering towns due to having so many major roads running through. OP never answered my question regarding how attached to Brookline they are, so we still don't know how that factors into new location. and if they are that down on Roslindale, neither Waltham nor Salem is going to be right for them. I'm assuming OP wants something less urban and edgy, intellectual but not necessarily arty.

These seem to have nice properties I can afford.

Acton, Hopkinton, seem too far out.

Thanks again, everyone.
Yeah, Acton and Hopkinton would be too far out for you. Although, Acton does have a very active chorale group and little theater group with performances by adults and high school students. I don't do performing arts, but several of my friends from the area enjoyed participating.

Even for Greater Boston, it seems overpriced for what it is.

Last visit down there I stopped to get a haircut in the square, and couldn't help but think "what the heck happened to this place?". I'm not bitter at all, but I do confess that I don't like change. Seeing so much of it (especially when it's not necessarily for the better), just makes me want to be away from there.

I think Arlington would be a great fit for you. None of the other suggestions in this thread (IMO) offer an intellectual vibe.
