My buddy gets 1000 a week for his place in Marshfield, granted he is a couple hundred yards from the beach.

There is a reason they call it Deluxebury

Plymouth is a good choice.

Just thinking about moving gives me a stomach ache.
My wife would be driving into Boston, is Plymouth too far south for this?
One reason I like the idea of the south shore is that I could get a job on an oyster farm or fishing boat, which is what I do.
Thanks you guys. I'II let you know what is going on.

Depends on what time she needs to be there. There's really only two ways there, route 3 and 3A and they both suck. If she needs to be there at 8 she'd have to leave at 6:30 or earlier. At 9, probably leave at 6:31. Boston traffic is the worst

Not Monday morning thru Friday evening

John - depends on what you want to do. Gansett to Boston REALLY sucks. I did Warwick to Boston for 2 years and was 1:45 going in on good days and 2 home on good days. Fridays in the summer were 3 hours minimum if I left Boston after 3pm...


Boston commutes SUCK. Here is an example of my commute times to the financial district in Boston (near South Station)

From Brookline/Brighton line on the Green Line - distance 5 miles: 40 minutes before the floods of '97, 60 minutes after (damn BU students )

From Quincy to Boston on Red Line - distance 10 miles: 45 minutes

From Braintree to Boston on Red Line - distance 14 miles: 55 minutes

From Warwick on 95 at almost 75mph to 128 staion to commuter line: 1:40 of combination white knuckle "when will my number come up" driving followed by a 25 minute snooze on the commuter rail...

To make things easiest for your wife and to get you in the Deluxbury / PLymouth area, you can look from Halifax (Got Stripers is selling a Halifax home) to Kingstown and be near the commuter rail lines. This also assumes that your wife is working a relatively normal schedule at a fairly accessible place by T in Boston. Also, one of these towns in the morning is more likely to get her a seat on the train instead of standing. I'm not too familiar with the Kingston line but the Providence line people start standing by North Attleboro (though I would cough up my seat for those that need).

The rents in this area will be fairly comparable to the rents where you are now.
As for fishing, the area you would appreciate the most would be the Cohasset / Scituate area but the access is significantly, acutally exponentially more difficult than where you fish. But I'll square you up with Pete Belsan, one of the nicest B&T guys around...

.................
If she can, take the train, don't drive at all. Remember the train is $198 for a monthly pass and $2 a day to park. I'v been going back and forth every day since '74, There is no really good way, but depending on where she has to go in Boston, the train isn't bad.

i live in mashpee and commute to boston everyday.. i take the Plymouth and Brockton bus.. so much better than the train... i took the train for a while but its bench seat and makes 8 or 9 stops.. the bus is comfortable, always on time, recliner seats, no stops, and same price as train... i used to drive when my chick worked in boston too but she got a job on the cape, so i take the bus now.. i have no complaints.. driving was tough, and impossible by yourself, you need to get in the hov lane if you drive, if not your scrrewed. the train is uncomfortable.. the bus aint bad.. she should look into that, it has pick ups in sagamore, plymouth, and rockland..good luck
