Found a condo and couldn’t decide, one in East Boston and one in Somerville and I couldn’t decide what to prioritize. I like Somerville because of the connectivity to the red, green, and oracle line and just the area in general, but the proximity to the water and views in east Boston had me torn. There were positive and negatives to each condo and am wondering how you are prioritizing.

Connectivity >water proximity, because you’ll enjoy it more often (unless you have an actual water view).

+1 for connectivity if you can’t see the view from the unit.
