San Francisco, along with New York, are the two other locations that actually beat out Boston in terms of real estate costs. Of course, I can understand the additional costs of living either along the beautiful northern California coastline, or in such a thriving place as New York City. I'm just not sure exactly what Boston offers that puts it up there wit those two! Oh, you’re absolutely correct.

I am originally from San Francisco and i hate to break it to Bostonians but Boston/metro-Boston is significantly cheaper to buy into for a first time buyer than San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area. Whether you are looking for a suburban house or city condo, Boston is cheaper. In fact, I think the suburbs of SF are the most expensive suburbs in the country! I eventually want to move back to the San Francisco Bay Area but decided to stay here because of the lower cost of living of Boston compared to San Francisco.

It was a wonderful place to be a teenager. There were plenty of places to go within walking or biking distance. There were many more accessible via mass transit. Life took me to another city after I graduated from college, but I still have fond memories of the Cleveland area and friends there. It really is a great place to live.
