There's a good variety of locales in the state and it's hard to give any real input here without knowing what you want. But in my opinion at least I wouldn't recommend moving there. The entire corridor from Boston to Lowell just kind of sucks. You get a lot of the cons of densely populated areas without much in the way of pros. It's expensive, public transit isn't great, traffic is consistently a nightmare and one way or another you're going to have to drive 30 minutes to an hour in either direction to go to anything fun.
