#9 Most Diverse Suburbs in Boston Area
Current Resident: I grew up in Quincy, attending parts of elementary and middle school here, moved back when I was 20. There's plenty of buses and three train stations (at least one commuter rail station) in this city. There are plenty of gyms for fitness, an abundance of diverse resteraunts (Indian, various Asian, typical American, breakfast diners, coffee shops, a gelato shop, ice cream shops, juice bar, seafood, cafes, multiple dunkin donuts, a Starbucks, Italian, fine dining, dive bars, pubs, etc). We're right on the ocean with easy access to Boston, Milton, Braintree, and the rest of the South Shore.
I didn't give it a full 5 stars because there is a drug problem (just use common sense and avoid people that are strung out, usually around Quincy Center/ the library are). Most crime is domestic, so just stay away from sketchy people. Some parts have a more urban feel and others a more suburban feel. Plenty of community events that happen year round. Traffic can get hectic, but that's expected.
