"Having been living next to NYC for the past 4 years Lexington, MA is not as exciting to live in. However it does have beautiful rolling suburban areas where surprisingly the homes don't all look the same (even the way they are painted is different, reflects individuality). Yet Boston is not too far away so as long as you have a car you can live in a major city while working there. Commute is anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour though depending upon traffic conditions."
