Hi there,

I will be moving to Boston with my wife and our two year old. I will be working in Cambridge (Kendall/MIT being the closest transit stop). I was wondering what would be some good places to live when our budget is about 4000 USD/mo. Ideally we would like to have access to a garden, but not being too far from the city. Any advice gratefully received.

    In case they do mean vegetable garden ….

    One of the issues to be aware of is possible lead in the soil. We never got ours tested but we’re warned off that vegetable gardening was not recommended because lead paint over the years likely contaminated the soil around the house.

    I have been thinking, off and on over the years, about putting in raised beds where I could keep uncontaminated soil separate
