East coast/Boston peeps, a housing question

[gault]

One of my dear dear friends is moving outside the Boston area and would greatly appreciate any help regarding finding a place to live.  

She and her husband would like to have kids in the next few years, so a house would be ideal, rental at first.  The job is in Maynard.  They're also open to Framingham, Marlborough or Natick depending on her work (she's a rec therapist and doesn't have a job there yet).

Any ideas or recs for her?

Acton is a really nice town, I have several friends who live there - it's small, but not too small and great for families.

Marlborough is a nice area too. Framingham and Natick have good and bad areas like any larger town. Sudbury, Hudson are nice areas too. All depends on how far they are willing to commute and where her job ends up being.

Hi
Please have your friends google 2229
MAIN street concord. Its a horrid superfund site that made uranium tipped bullets fo many years. Although the epa says the runoff has not reached the asabet river, i think they are full of it. Any town near the asabet could be contaminated. I would not live in concord maynard acton. Concord has much higher rates of cancer and 2 superfund sites. Wr grace was also in concord.

I just recently became aware of this information. I worked in "the mill" in Maynard for many years, under which the Assabet river flows. I am sure our drinking water was from the Assabet river.
