We live in metrowest ish. Franklin to be specific. Schools are great, taxes low for our area and you can still commute to Boston or Worcester. Also lots of school districts hiring in our surrounding area.

Franklin and Medway area very nice....but OP won't find anything at all at the $250K mark

I missed that part. But also crazy because I bought my house for 250k only 5 years ago. The market has been wild

We’re on southern wages looking to move north so are truly doing this backwards. Maybe it works out for us, maybe not but your state sounds awesome regardless!

Don’t get discouraged! You may not find a brand new house but there are plenty of options here. I purchased my house for only 250k it was before Covid and needs some work. Other areas that are very nice and have great schools, Bellingham, medway, Ashland, holliston parts of Framingham.
