Was in the same situation. Bought a house in Thompson CT. Way more bang for your buck with home buying. Taxes are high but was able to have a house built brand new for cheaper than some of Massachusetts outrageous prices on old houses.
The wife and I still commute to Worcester for work everyday. I have a 30min ride, hers is 35.
