Planning to move to Waltham in a couple months. Will be living with my partner and I will be working in Waltham making ~$180-200k/year.

What neighborhoods do you folks recommend in Waltham? The luxury apartments near Moody's street look good but I am not sure if they are worth 3-3.5k/month - any personal experience would be useful. Thanks!

If you can, live in Watertown. Short commute to Waltham, but you are much closer to Boston / Cambridge.

I lived on Pine St for several years 10+ years ago. I loved the Moody St area--restaurants, bars, shops, commuter rail, easy access to the bike path into Boston, arts, the river. Convenient yet low key. Can't speak to the apartments, I owned a condo/half a house.

$3-3.5k a month is actually on the lower side compared to some areas. Cedarwood is getting around $6k.

Trying to set family expectations and would love thoughts on 2 things. 1. How long after baby will I be ready for visitors beyond our parents? I’m thinking a few weeks. 2. Our 3 grandmothers are 1-3 hour flights away (3 diff places) and cannot travel. When will we be ready to take baby to see them? I’m thinking 4-6 months but that would also be flu/RSV season. Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!
