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 :(.

Yea, I live in Upton, next town over from Hopkinton. If you're going to work in Hopkinton and can't drive you're not gonna be able to get to the office without carpooling or Uber. Did you check the public transit options before you took the job? Also, if you want to live somewhere that's a city and relatively close, then it's really Worcester or Framingham. Worcester has some rough parts, tbh. Worcester to Hopkinton should be about half an hour on 495.
