How to live in Boston
It made me
scared 
"I moved back to the suburbs"
How I did it: I lived in the dodgy end of South End on a summer sublet for three months at a major intersection on Mass Ave and Washington St. My sleep schedule has permanently changed, and I witnessed a convenience store robbery! Ick! Since then I've moved back to Cambridge near my old college, and haven't looked back since.
Lessons & tips: If the rent in a good neighbourhood is too cheap to be true, there's probably some catch -- ie, the dodgy end or the edge of the neighbourhood bordering another sketchier neighbourhood.
South End is glorious if you do have the means for a proper apartment and for amazing restaurants and boutiques!
Resources: Craigslist.com for finding my sublet, and Yelp.com for exploring my new neighbourhood.

My husband and I moved to Austin a year ago and for about the first 6 months, things were great! But then we started missing everything about Boston (Somerville). It started as little things like good pizza, good chinese food, cool weather, and gradually grew and grew. Now we just want to go back. The weather here is dreadfully hot. Can’t stand it anymore. We have a plan and should get our asses back by this spring.

Expensive, very expensive, but there’s no place else I would’ve rather gone to college. Such a cool place to be – the Back Bay is beautiful.
I miss it!

It’s the best! Great walkability and liveability. We’re in the suburbs with 3 kids, but will move back when we’re empty nesters.

Great night life, Great food, High paying jobs, very progressive in bio-tech, technologically savy, Clean and historical.
Winters are by far and away the worst part. The way the wind-chill comes off the water will make you want to leave. Although with global warming this may change.
People are rude. non debatable.
Good luck

I live in Seattle and I want to move to Boston. Can anyone tell me where are some good areas very close to the city and close to transportation to get right downtown within 10 minutes?

the cons outweigh the pros, and I’ve lived all over the city (which might be one of the cons, a new apartment every lease). I can’t wait to get outta here, but I’m so glad I went to school in the city rather than the burbs.
