Best Massachusetts neighborhoods to relocate to

For people considering moving to a town that suits their personal needs, the Boston Globe has broken down 24 local cities and towns that may do just that.

The best neighborhood for families with children is the Neponset area of Dorchester, according to the Globe. The median single-family home price is $280,000 and the residential tax rate is $12.79 per $1,000 in assessed value. Residents say that the families are very interconnected and involved in each other's lives.

Anyone searching for a bargain deal should look no further than Quincy, according to the paper. Home prices have dropped almost 17 percent over the last six years, but experts believe the market is preparing to turn around. The 10-year, $1.3 billion New Quincy Center project is going to get underway in the near future. This construction is expected to prompt relocations by people due to the creation of new jobs, homes and shops.

People that describe themselves as foodies may find the South End of Boston the most conducive place to rest their heads, according to the paper. The area is dense with restaurants and markets, ranging in price and cuisine.
