Anyone living in Boston area? Real estate is very expensive here. Looking for a single family house. Which area would you recommend? Mandatory for me: Great school district. TIA

Your criteria of single family home + great school district leaves very little room for reasonable priced homes. Good luck

There are not too many variables here.

If school district is most important, explore townhouse/condo or an old and/or smaller construction. You might be able to expand your sample space if you are not looking for all elementary/middle/high to be great.

At the end of the day, you will have to prioritize things that you can live with you and those that you can’t live without.

Boston is ridiculous, I’d move if I were you. Philadelphia, Charlotte etc great, affordable suburbs.

I don’t like apartments. Want a house now. Have been living for last 3 years in an apartment and hate it.

Work in downtown so need to be at least 1 hour from there. All good houses in Newton / Wellesley / Needham / Brookline area are 1 or 1.5M+

Instead of a SFH, why don’t you consider a large townhome? Will likely open up many options for you.
