Lived here most my life 1.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 20, 2020) This place is amazing....as long as your making a ton of money. Ive lived here since i was 3, moved down to NC for about 8yrs and when i came back in 2010 it was impossible to find anyplace to live bc of rental prices skyrocketing. You cant afford to live here as a single adult u ...Read More nless your making ove $60K a year or have a partner/roomate to help with bills. I have always worked in the area as well and am being driven over an hour away just to find affordable housing. Its a nice area but honestly ridiculously overpriced, so if you can afford it come on down Read Less
Woburn, MA: Beautiful, Quaint and Historic 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) The best thing about Woburn, MA is that it is 9 miles from Boston so everything is easily accessible. I love going to the Middlesex Fells Reservation to hike, sightsee and enjoy what nature has to offer. It is a perfect place to bring your dog to walk as well as get your exercise ...Read More . I am an avid hiker, so this is one of my favorite places as well as Mary Cummings Trail and Horn Pond.

Living in Woburn has a lot to offer for children as well. My kids love to visit Boston Rock Gym and the Imax. My family loves the outdoors, so we try to take advantage of the spring and summer before the cold winter hits. In the winter, we usually visit indoor entertainment centers such as Dave & Busters and the Woburn Mall.

For the most part, the homes have big backyards, not close to neighbors as some other cities and are well built. This is why I settled down in Woburn. The people are also nice and helpful as well. Read Less
