There was a suspected murder in the Danby/ Mt Tabor area a year or so ago. Gun shot victim left face down in a snow bank. Otherwise a very quiet area.

Cape Cod is considered quiet by a lot of people and has had a drug problem for years. Hyannis has a decent amount of violent crime.

It’s all concerning but if you are coming from a large city your definition of quiet is probably different than if you live in Andover.

Manchester? They have high speed internet in most parts of the town. Good luck finding a rental though.

Quiet is relative… I find Springfield to be quiet but know locals who don’t.
