Here at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a> Blog, we were determined to find out where those places were, and we turned to the power of mathematics to do it.<br \/>\nWe crunched the numbers and came out with this truly amazing list of the best places in New England:<br \/>\n1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/lexington-ma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Town of Lexington, MA<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/waltham-ma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City of Waltham, MA<\/a><br \/>\n3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/watertown-ma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City of Watertown, MA<\/a><br \/>\n4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/framingham-ma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Town of Framingham, MA<\/a> (Tie)<br \/>\n4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/brookline-ma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Town of Brookline, MA<\/a> (Tie)<br \/>\n6.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/cambridge-ma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> City of Cambridge, MA<\/a><br \/>\n7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/stamford-ct\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City of Stamford, CT<\/a><br \/>\n8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/woburn-ma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City of Woburn, MA<\/a><br \/>\n9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/west-hartford-ct\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Town of West Hartford, CT<\/a><br \/>\n10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/marlborough-ma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marlborough, MA<\/a><br \/>\nYou may notice that there\u2019s a whole lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/ma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Massachusetts<\/a> on our top 10. Still, we actually found the top 50 places in New England, and there\u2019s a lot more diversity there.<br \/>\nTo see those great 50 places, check the chart at the bottom of this article. If you\u2019re also curious how we judged a place as best, you can find out by reading about our methodology in the next section.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Methodology<\/h2>\n<p>In order to create this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/kind-of-a-big-deal-lists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Deal List<\/a>, we turned to sources including the 2012 U.S. Census, business listings, and National Weather Service data.<br \/>\nTo start, we made a list of all the places in New England over 30,000 people in size. Any place that we could not get data for was omitted from the list. That left us with 79 places, and we researched those in seven important criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Amenities per capita<\/li>\n<li>Quality of life (cost of living, median home price, median rent, median household income, and student-to-teacher ratio)<\/li>\n<li>Total crimes<\/li>\n<li>Tax rates (sales tax and income tax)<\/li>\n<li>Unemployment<\/li>\n<li>Commute time<\/li>\n<li>Weather (temperature and air quality)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once we had that data, we ranked each place in each of these criteria from one to 79, with scores closer to one being better. We then averaged all of each place\u2019s rankings into one Big Deal Score. The place with the lowest number for that score became our best spot in New England.<br \/>\nLet\u2019s take a moment with each of our top 10, to examine why each place ranked so well, and what awesome perks they have to offer locals.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Lexington, MA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/best-new-england\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places In New England\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user John Haydon<\/div>\n<p>This Massachusetts town has history, community, and was definitely a cut above the rest.<br \/>\nThe \u201cshot heard \u2018round the world\u201d happened here, and the national pride in this town is still very strong, with the Fourth of July being particularly patriotic. Of course, that doesn\u2019t stop them from also having some of the best Indian food around, with the Royal India Bistro serving up naan that\u2019ll knock your socks off.<br \/>\nJust going by the numbers, it\u2019s hard to go wrong here. The quality of life ranked No. 3 and crime ranked No. 2 on our list, plus the taxes and unemployment were both the fourth lowest.<br \/>\nThe amenities per capita ranked No. 17 and the commute was pretty middle of the pack. Even the weather was ok, with the air quality ranking 32nd.<br \/>\nA couple of additional perks here were the highest median income, at $130,637, and a student-teacher ratio of only 12 to 1. Throw in some national parks, landmarks, and great museums, and there\u2019s pretty much something for everyone here.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Waltham, MA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/best-new-england\/images\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places In New England\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Dan Dvorscak<\/div>\n<p>Also sometimes called Water City, this place definitely knows how to whet your appetite for fun.<br \/>\nThe 10th best amenities per capita here included decent Mexican food, museums, pretty parks, and so much more. That fun probably isn\u2019t too surprising, considering this place is home to Brandeis University and Bentley University.<br \/>\nStat-wise, this place is no slouch either. Waltham tied for the fourth lowest taxes, had the eighth lowest crime, and had an average commute time of only 27 minutes. The eighth best quality of life ranking also included a student-teacher ratio of 11 to one and a median rent of $1,285, so you can bet this is a desirable area.<br \/>\nAs an added bonus, if you\u2019re a comic book nerd, you\u2019re going to feel right at home in The Outer Limits comic book shop. Just be sure to say hi to Steve for us.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Watertown, MA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/best-new-england\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places In New England\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: \u00a0Flickr user Joe Shlabotnik <\/div>\n<p>Keeping up the water-themed places trend, Watertown is perfect for those who are cultured and want their families to be as well.<br \/>\nFor starters, they had a huge number of amenities despite being a fairly small city of 31,915 and were home to national landmarks and museums such as the Abraham Browne House and the Armenian Library and Museum of America.<br \/>\nThe perks don\u2019t stop there. This place had the seventh lowest crime, the ninth lowest unemployment rate, and the fourth best quality of life. That stellar quality of life score included the lowest student-teacher ratio at nine to one, and a decent median income of $74,081.<br \/>\nAnd in case you\u2019re worried about this small city not having anything to tickle your tastebuds, fear not. Between the Baklava at Sevan Bakery and the Moxie glazed chicken wings (oh my gosh yum) at Strip T\u2019s, you\u2019ll have plenty to enjoy.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Framingham, MA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/best-new-england\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places In New England\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Caroline Hagmann<\/div>\n<p>If you want a pretty place to call home, this town is definitely what you\u2019re looking for.<br \/>\nThere are a ton of parks, some historic and elegant buildings, and the downtown is downright picturesque. There are also plenty of amenities, and the weather here scored quite well in our rankings.<br \/>\nOther than that, Framingham had a lot going for it. The place was pretty safe, due to the ninth lowest crime, and the unemployment ranked the 10th lowest. Even the taxes here were quite low.<br \/>\nAnother great place for students, Framingham had a student-teacher ratio of 12 to 1, and was also home to Framingham State University. That student population also probably has something to do with the good nightlife in these parts, featuring places like Tavern Framingham and Railroad Six Sports Grill &amp; Entertainment.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Brookline, MA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/best-new-england\/images\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places In New England\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Katherine Hala <\/div>\n<p>By the numbers alone, Brookline looks pretty spectacular.<br \/>\nThis place had the second best quality of life ranking, the sixth lowest crime, a very low tax rate, a decent amount of amenities, and so much more. And that\u2019s not even mentioning the The Puppet Showplace Theatre or the numerous parks.<br \/>\nThe biggest standout score here was the No. 1 ranked unemployment. A truly shocking 97.4 percent of people here were employed, so you don\u2019t have to worry about job hunting in this area.<br \/>\nThrow in the fourth highest median income, at over $95,000, and working or playing in Brookline looks pretty darn good.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re into art, there are some beautiful places to peruse, such as Kolbo Fine Judaica Gallery or the Brookline location of the rather funny MOBA (Museum Of Bad Art). Of course, if you prefer a more \u201cphysical\u201d form of art, you can\u2019t do much better than the highly rated Good Faith Tattoos.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Cambridge, MA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/best-new-england\/images\/6.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places In New England\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: City of Cambridge<\/div>\n<p>We\u2019ve all heard of this large city before, and that\u2019s thanks to Harvard University.<br \/>\nOne of the most well known colleges in the U.S., Harvard keeps Cambridge classy and interesting, and it probably has something to do with this place\u2019s sixth most amenities per capita ranking. It\u2019s also no surprise, given the education here, that the student-teacher ratio was only 10 to 1.<br \/>\nBesides all this school business, the numbers here were pretty stellar. This place had the seventh best quality of life, the third lowest unemployment, and even a pretty decent average commute time.<br \/>\nAs far as things to do and sights to see, the list goes on and on. For food, you have to stop by Hungry Mother or Alive &amp; Kicking Lobsters, for nightlife it\u2019s all about Club Passim, and there\u2019s the Brattle Theatre for all your cult movie needs.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Stamford, CT<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/best-new-england\/images\/7.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places In New England\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user John Tyler<\/div>\n<p>First of all, this place seems to really know what it\u2019s doing when it comes to Mexican food. Despite being so far from the border, this place was home to eateries like El Charrito, Casa Villa, Brasitas, and more. It\u2019s no wonder Stamford had the No. 8 ranked amenities.<br \/>\nBeyond the obvious tastiness, Stamford had a lot more to boast about. The scores here were great all around, offering the the fifth best quality of life, the 11th lowest crime, and the second best weather.<br \/>\nOn top of that, the student-teacher ratio here was only 12 to 1, so it\u2019s an ideal spot for students and parents alike.<br \/>\nSpeaking of students, Stamford had branches of the University of Connecticut, the University of Bridgeport, and Sacred Heart University. So while this place might be stressful during finals week, you can bet it\u2019s pretty lively as well.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Woburn, MA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/best-new-england\/images\/8.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places In New England\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Laura Bittner<\/div>\n<p>By numbers alone, Woburn is definitely a place not to be overlooked.<br \/>\nThis spot had a very good quality of life rank, the 17th lowest crime, a low tax rate, a low commute time, and even a fairly low unemployment rank. All in all, this place is just a solid contender in the best places in New England competition.<br \/>\nThe other really solid score here was the amenities per capita, which ranked first. Though this is a smaller locale, at only 38,120 locals, it still managed to have a wide selection of unique restaurants, such as Zaika Indian Bistro, Pintxo Pincho Tapas Bar, and 3 Country Bistro.<br \/>\nWhen you\u2019re not munching, you can always head to Laser Craze, which is fun for both the young and young at heart.<br \/>\nBeyond all those great perks, it should be mentioned that this place is naturally pretty, and they have numerous enjoyable parks to prove it.<\/p>\n<h2>9. West Hartford, CT<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/best-new-england\/images\/9.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places In New England\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Town of West Hartford<\/div>\n<p>Coming in at No. 9 was West Hartford, a place that\u2019s not at all new to top rankings. In fact, in 2010, CNN Money ranked West Hartford as the 55th best small city in America, which makes them a shoo-in for our best places in New England ranking.<br \/>\nOf course, we did everything by the numbers, and the numbers here had a lot to say about how great this place was. There were plenty of amenities per capita, a high quality of life, decently low crime, and decently low unemployment. This place also had the eighth lowest commute and the ninth best weather, thanks to some great average temperatures.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s also worth mentioning that the housing prices, cost of living, and median rent were generally lower here than other places in our top 10. Still, the median income here was a high $78,530, so this is likely one of the most affordable place in our top 10 for all you bargain hunters out there.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Marlborough, MA<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/09\/best-new-england\/images\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places In New England\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user jenciso<\/div>\n<p>Our No. 10 city may be little, but it\u2019s packing one heck of a punch. Just by the numbers alone, this is definitely a place you want to be. The city had the 13th lowest unemployment, some very good weather, the 14th most amenities per capita, and even the 18th best quality of life ranking.<br \/>\nIf locals still need more to smile about this place had fairly low crime on top of it all. The housing prices here do speak to the desirability of the place, but they definitely weren\u2019t the most expensive on our list either.<br \/>\nThe student teacher ratio was only 13 to 1, and the median income was actually quite high. Besides all those fantastic numbers, though, there\u2019s plenty to do. From the Callahan State Park for nature lovers to the New England Sports Center for skating and hockey fans, you can find just about anything here if you look for it.<\/p>\n<h2>The Appeal Here Is Heavenly<\/h2>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/me\/\">Maine<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/ri\/\">Rhode Island<\/a>, New England is a great place to call home.
