Excellent school system in the area if you aren't buying into Lincoln Sudbury or Northborough / Southborough. Right on the commuter rail. I'd buy there, if I didn't already live one town over.

To rent, with no kids, it is unnecessarily expensive and not a lot of social life. You will be far enough outside of Boston that if you hung out there, you will stop. And then what?

Renting? No

It’s a nice town. Good schools.
