I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place - first time poster here!
I'll try to spare the long story but I'm trying to move from Franklin closer to where I work in the Financial District.
I think I've narrowed it down to a few particular locations in order of preference: Dorchester (Lower Mills area), Quincy (North would be preferable), Braintree (farther away).
I'm just wondering what I should do. Should I look to buy a place (I don't have much saved up yet)? Should I rent? I plan on staying here for at least another 3 years and then maybe leave, who knows.
My only issue is that I'm picky and on a budget. If I rent, I can't go over $2,100/mo for a 2 bed 2 bath. I love the look of the lofts in the city - especially the Lofts at Lower Mills. Gorgeous! Granite, stainless, hardwood, brick - I'm in love! Lenox Farms in Braintree is nice too but they seem to hit you with weird fees ($60/mo for a shuttle to the T) and it's farther out.
I guess what I'm wondering is if there's other units nearby that I'm missing?
