But to quickly answer your Qs -

First of all you need to decide on a place, then you could check the schools. Else you could see the school ratings in schoolratings. com ( i think ) to decide on the best school in MA.

Closer to downtown, appartments are expensive.. Anywhere outbound, it is quite cheap.

I havent heard of many appartments that allow couple with kids to take in 1 bedroom. So, that does look like a no.

You dont have to get groceries from CA , MA has plenty of Indian groceries and fresh stuff too..

MA is a lovely place to live in toto !

Welcome to MA !!

 

Sure !!

Reeves is the public school here and is given the one of the first bests in US, I have heard from friends.. So, guess, once you live in Woburn , your kid will get an admission there.. Also to remind you, the woburn part out of Main St. is not considered for admissions under Reeve's .. Some jazz like that.. :bonk

So, maybe you should check some appartments in the vicinity of Reeve's ! You can google it out.. There are plenty.

 

Washnigton crossing is close to BJs whole sale store.. I suppose. It is a luxury appartment but I dont think it is on Buslines.. If your hubby doesnt take the bus to Downtown or close by or commutes by car... then this place is good enough I guess.. I havent had any friends living there.. But, have seen this one whenever we go to BJs..

Tudor and Shaker Glenn are of the same company's . Tudor was where my hubby lived as a bachelor and we have one ILite friend living there too..

It is less than 5 mins drive from my house and the appartments are really very good. They have townhouses, 2 and 1 Bedroom appartments.. Heat and water is included ( Heat is a MUST in MA !! )

Washnigton crossing appartments doesnt come under Reeve's School I guess.. Tudor does come I know. So, if schooling to your kiddo is priority and bus lines, I would suggest Tudor.. You must check wether there are any available first..

 

Hey Kirthika,

Just came across ur post.... Washington Crossing is a new apt i think.. Its not on a bus line.. but I have heard a few friends of mine who take the bus to downtown from there. I think they go to the Anderson station or so to board the bus or train. This station isnt far from the apts. Also the apt is close by (not walkable) to a mall-Woburn mall which houses Marketbasket( an american grocery store),DSW shoes,payless,Panera bread etc. Lowes,Staples,an indian resturant,Dunkin donuts,Subway etc are close by.
Of course as preethi stated, BJs is the next building to this apt.

I guess by now u would have packed ur things and getting ready to move to MA. Welcome to MA....
have a safe trip!!!
