This review is from: Newcomer's Handbook For Moving To And Living In Boston: Including Cambridge, Brookline, And Somerville (Paperback)

I bought this when we were getting ready to move to Boston, having never been here before, we had no idea where to look for a place or what to expect (and yes the drivers live up to their reputations-- they are actually worse!). This book has some nice neighborhood/town descriptions, house hunting resources, and helpful resources including telephone numbers. Also has childcare and education information along with churches and cultural life information. Also has some maps througout the book, although you cannot drive by them, they are helpful in getting your bearings. I recommend it and would buy it again.
