I love Winchester. It's a quaint town just 7 miles outside Boston, MA. It's perfectly for raising a family in. The schools are excellent and the crime late is remarkably low. I currently live in Winchester and I love it so much. I live in an area of Winchester which is about half a mile from its not too far away from Winchester center and everything is in reasonable walking distance from my house. Winchester center has a train station which makes commuting much easier for many parents and most peoples' commutes are pretty bearable. I love this town and I recommend it to anyone ready to start a family!
Winchester is a great town with an excellent public schools system and a beautifull town center. It is safe, clean and diversitile. Though there are some expencive nieghborhoods, there are some affordibile ones too!
Winchester is a residential neighborhood with the advantages of being right in the middle of almost anywhere you need to go. While the town itself tends to be mostly residential and unassuming, it is right on the commuter rail line to Boston and minutes away from the Middlesex Fells Reservation and nearby Horn Pond for outdoor activities or just taking a quick walk. Schools are excellent and that reputation has driven up home prices as families try to move in for that very reason. The downtown area is small, but interesting with restaurants, a bookshop, and various of small businesses. All in all, while it doesn't have the bustling feel of other towns, you're never more than a 10-15 minute drive to get to most places you need to go.
