I’d talk to your new employer about this maybe? I’d bet there will be carpool options from most nearby towns, especially if it is a larger company. Having said that, you’ll get more value for your rental $ in Worcester and it has improved a lot in the ~20 years I’ve been in this area. People still have a dated view of the city imo. Anyway, there are very nice apts within walking distance of the commuter rail and it is 2 stops to get you w/n a couple miles of Hopkinton center. Where you could Uber, catch a ride with a colleague or even bike on nice days. And you can fly round trip from Worcester to JFK for $150 (or less) when you are missing the city. It’s a 30-min flight. I’ve done that a lot myself.

You’re missing the point. If you want to get rid of the post that’s fine. It’s great you’re a premium member and don’t see ads on Reddit. Do you watch TV? See billboards? Radio? Any thing else on the internet?

THERE'S DOZENS OF US. I mean, it's a small town, but yea. I wanted to get a house with an actual yard when we were about to have our first kid. It's quiet, but I like it. Except for that fisher attack that killed all my chickens. The chickens came with the house, which is a story for another time, but it was not fun to have to bury the dead and euthanize the severely wounded :(.

You are going to need a car. Hopkinton is extremely rural for a suburb. Daily ubers will not scale and it might even be hard to find one out that far on a consistent basis.

​

Maybe try to find housing near work so you can walk and then uber into Boston on the weekend?

I know you dont want to dox yourself but not knowing where your work is located makes this extremely difficult to give advice to a non-driver.
