Reply to comment by RadiantAd3776 in Advice on where to move. Excited to move my family from Oklahoma to Massachusetts but need help narrowing down towns :) by RadiantAd3776

I love the little patch of towns near Milford/Mendon/Millis. Mendon has a drive-in and a zoo where you can feed deer by hand. Really quaint and fun for the kids.

Plenty of fixer uppers that were built in the. 1950-1979 timeframe in those towns, and it’s a it more spread out than some of the tightly clustered suburban towns. But those fixer-upper places that have the BR/square footage you’d probably need are going to be along these lines.

Schools are more than fine in those towns (especially compared to Oklahoma).

A lot of contractors who work in the “rich” Boston suburbs of Weston, Wellesley, Needham, Wayland live out there (and in the neighboring towns like Uxbridge, Upton, Hopedale, Northbridge, and Grafton) as well.

Anyways good luck and welcome to MA!!!!

I second the above recommendation! That area is very nice and geographically your husband’s business would be in a great spot to thrive.

I forgot to add: when looking for good school in that area, avoid Millville, northbridge, blackstone, and Douglas
