If you don't mind commuting a bit, Franklin MA might not be that bad of a place to look either. It's about 30 minutes from both Marlborough and Norwood. It has 2 commuter rail stops (Forge Park and Franklin) on the same line as Norwood. BJs, Shaws, and Stop & Shop are in Franklin, while Market Basket, Walmart, Whole Foods, and Home Depot are in neighboring Bellingham, and the Wrentham Outlets are quite close by. Walkability is a bit iffy, especially in West Central Franklin due to 140 being a 4 lane expressway between the Bellingham border and 495.

Definitely something we could look into!! Would you happen to know how Franklin is in terms of safety?

The whole area around Franklin is very safe

(The darker blue shade of some neighborhoods is mainly due to petty crime against businesses (shoplifting, etc), not violent crime.)

There's also plenty of apartments/condos in Franklin
