Second largest city in Massachusetts behind Boston. Huge redevelopment push past 5 years (2015-2020). All the big city things for work and play, with still many, many opportunities for cheap housing, etc.

Biggest downside is it's hard to get around without a car, and you really will want access to one here so you can visit the mountains or the ocean beaches, or the big city of Boston - any of which are easily possible to do for the day from here (all less than 2 hours' drive). New Hampshire is an incredible state if you want to experience nature. Not a lot to do within the city itself. Excellent internet service. Very cold in the winter. West side has a large French Canadian populatio
