This is great advice. Currently live in the Midwest which is part of why I wanted to throw the question out there. I did the Google street walk around the block but it’s just not the same.

Awesome! It’s not cheap by other city standards but by Boston standards I think it is :).

Proximity to the city and the beach seemed like the biggest wins. We walk a ton (three dogs) so wanted something walkable and convenient. And safe of course! Thanks for this. Super thoughtful.
