probably you can find something in sharon, but can't find any reasonable
middle pricing houses around westwood like 600-800k.
Currently living in Westwood, but hate it (can not upgrade)

b*******0 发帖数: 1695 | 7 Thanks for your first hand info..
It seems to me that Sharon has more Asian/Chinese and diversified housing
stock. While Westwood is more homogeneous White, and housing is more
expensive, it seems that Westwood is very steady in terms of real estate
value.
Besides upgrade, what else you dislike Westwood? I know some towns in
MetroWest are quite snobbish.That is the reason Chinese prefer Lexington and
Newton etc.

Sharon is more affordable than Westwood price wise.

But it does not matter that much.

c********t 发帖数: 4527 | 13 Need to see the high property tax in other perspective.
Think about it, how much you pay extra for the property tax? It will not be
that much if you account in the price difference and quality of a better
life because of bigger nicer house. Of course, house appreciation is
different story.

c********t 发帖数: 4527 | 15 Westwood is hot on the list of Chinese families.
A lot of people moving in, so should not be a problem finding Chinese play
mates or good families to hang out for yourself.
As far as for White families, it is ok, not particular bad or good for
Chinese.

not see middle range house in Newton (500-800 thousand $) lose much value.

c********t 发帖数: 4527 | 25 Right.
but if you look at something from 600k-900k, it becomes so hard.
Downey strict does not make it harder or easier.
As matter of fact, elementary schools not matter much, as I said it before.

z****l 发帖数: 5282 | 26 Dover情况有点特别。
平均家庭收入接近Weston,但是交通就不太方便。

低端的房子太少,只有高压线附近和Condo在工薪阶层承受范围。
这样的区房子不降才怪。

博士说的是。 Dover的区虽好,交通太不方便,特别是对正常上班的双职工来说。
westwood的交通方
便,房子在60-90w内要比dover/sherbon贵些。

300刀不算贵,就叫人作吧。不过这个东西也就是买玻璃棉,放在ceiling上,没有什么

另外,窗户上有水气没关系,只要中间没有就可以了。
