One if by sea, two if by train, and three if by car are just some of the
ways the people of Weymouth get to work. Its 20-minute commute to Boston,
12 miles of oceanfront, and affordable homes make this town stand out.
And if you like to hit Cape Cod in summer, you're all set: Weymouth is
closer to the Cape than Boston is, so residents avoid the worst traffic
when making the hour-and-a-half drive.

Best Places to Raise Your Kids: 2010
Bloomberg Businessweek conducted its fourth annual survey of Best Places
to Raise Your Kids. In 2010 Weymouth was named runner-up (it held
the honor in 2009 as well). The magazine selects one affordable, safe,
and family-friendly town, and two runners-up for each of the 50 states. The
data used included school performance, number of schools, household
expenditures, crime rates, air quality, job growth, family income,
museums, parks, theaters, other amenities, and diversity. Affordability,
safety, and school test scores were given the greatest weight. |
