Seconding, my brother actually teaches in Springfield and loves it. He and his wife have a way higher standard of living then they did in Revere just cause it's so much cheaper out there. There's honestly also a pretty decent amount to do, the 5 colleges area is fantastic.

Housing is expensive obviously, but if you’re coming from TX, you won’t feel like it takes much time to get places in MA. Depending on where you work, you might find something nearby that’s somewhat affordable. Welcome to MA!

I have been looking and maybe it’s my parameters but nothing is remotely close to that cheap.

A quick search right now has given me ~300-450k for old homes that either need some moderate renovation or a total gut job. Or downvote Springfield for 350k

Harvard Museum of Natural History is awesome!!! It's free to Massachusetts residents every Sunday morning (year-round) from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and on Wednesdays from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm (September through May). Proof of residency required. RISD museum in Providence (which is also awesome) is free on Sundays all day and Thurs / Fri after five - just go to their website and reserve a ticket before you go.

Also, if you have a ConnectorCare card or an EBT card, you can get in to many museums for a steep discount or for free.
