Hey guys,
found a house I love in Dux. I think you've got to drive to Kingston to board the T? My husband would be doing the commute both ways. Any info on that community--the good, the bad, and the ugly--I wanna hear about it! Thanks again, this website is a Godsend for people out here in the fringes looking to move up that way. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all of the information I have received on various communities and aspects of New England life. Lorilou

Duxbury's a nice up-scale town. It's got the nick-name "Deluxe-bury". I've heard that it can be snobby, but frankly it's really a cute town, right on the coast and has an excellent school system. Everybody's pretty well-to-do - which is passed down to the kids, but I guess it can be like that in any affluent community.

When my husband and I were considering a move off-Cape one of our first choices was Duxbury. We liked the schools, the quaint Cape-like New England town - especially village, and the beach. My husband grew up on the south shore and was very familiar with Duxbury. I think it's a solid choice if you can stand some possible snobs.

Yes, you would go to Kingston to catch the commuter rail. It's not far.

Good luck!

I don't know how far "in" your house is but once you get to the Kingston train line, you can expect about 55 minutes on the train. I take it, it is reliable and far less stressful than trying to drive on Rt 3 and the xpressway.
Duxbury is a beautiful town. And right next door, Plymouth has alot of great restaurants-- RooBar, Strega's, to name two..... and in the summer, if you like outside bars, there are some fun ones on the waterfront and marina.

Welcome to the South Shore!!

Duxbury is an excellent suburban town! It is just as nice as the Cape but more sophisticated and it's a lot closer to the city. If you wanted to get a bit closer to Boston, Hingham would be another great choice.

Duxbury has A LOT of undesireable neighborhoods despite all of the wealthy ones, the schools are good but are generally inferior to other south shore towns (cohasset, hingham, silver lake, norwell, pembroke hanover etc) it also has a huge heroin problem which is where it got its alternative nickname “Drugs-berry”
