Nice place to live for families. Lots of shopping and nature, the city is not far. Decent job opportunities in health/biotech/tech sectors. Not a great nightlife.
Am so confident to talk about Middlesex county. I will start with it's people. It has very great people with beautiful hearts. It has one of the best cities in Massachusetts. These cities are not ordinary cities but full of life with alot of restaurants, parks coffee shops and many more. It has the best schools in Massachusetts and a population of highly educated people. This county has people from all walks of life and very many languages are spoken this makes it a diverse county and even more interesting. Employment opportunities are also very available unless you don't want to work. But jobs are posted now and then and there is a greater opportunity for everyone to have a job if you are ready to work. Beautiful homes and it's easy to own a home. It's great for rising a family and children because of many excellent public schools. Middlesex county stands out aslo for it's health services with most of the best hospitals in the country at large and medical personnels.
I like the transportation system. I would like to see more below market rate housing units added to the county's affordable housing supply. Middlesex is in need of more poverty housing units for it poor segment of the community, especially it's homeless population.
