I can’t sing Great Stories praises enough.

Sutton is an hour from Boston. It’s quiet but easy access to Providence (45 min) and Worcester (15-20 min) property taxes in Sutton are obscene but the houses are only going up in value. School system is great. Residents are 50/50 on the political scale. Trump only lost the town by one vote but you don’t see it on the lawns like you do in grafton or Upton. Grafton, Sutton, & Upton are going to give you basically the same living experience IMO as some one who grew up and currently lives in the area again after 20 years in Boston.
