Working remotely from Framingham

Everett W. Jan 19, 2026

I've lived in North for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- The dating scene scene is average

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Far from beaches/mountains

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. No regrets on my end..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Hope this helps!.
