Reply to comment by ggill1313 in Potential Move From West Side To Wayland - questions about Wayland community - insight deeply appreciated by [deleted]

Yeah that definitely helps. I like the funk over here, I don’t really love the noise (on my street at least). I guess wickenden isn’t a terribly far walk away, either. I just don’t know if it would be like Fed hill where we have met people on atwells for festivals, lots of young professionals, etc.

Lots and lots of young professionals over here. I wouldn’t be concerned about not being able to meet people. My wife prefers Wayland because, and in her words, the people are friendlier over here.

But I do think the area is just a bit more mature, so to speak. The rowdiness that you may be accustom to or prefer is pretty absent, though.

Well that’s good re: young professionals.

I like a little rowdy but I don’t enjoy some of the grit, super loud obnoxious music, etc. of this side. I do love Broadway and Atwells though, and all the food we have over here. Maybe all the nightlife made it easier to meet people.

Yeah there’s not a whole lot of that over on Wayland, but as you know, Thayer is really close, which might scratch that itch.

I know if I were you, I’d move. You can always seek out thrill, but you can’t always get away from it.

Also the property value is strong in this area. Even in a downturn property there will still be sought.
