reasons why we picked our house: 1. it had our 'must haves' (at least 2 bedrooms, garage) and our 'nice to haves' (3 bedrooms, more than one bathroom) and some pleasant surprises (gas grill, generator, wood pellet stove) 2. location (5 min from rt 3 and 495, right off of 3a, 2 min walk to the commuter rail) 3. neighborhood (off any main roads, cul-de-sacs, a lot of families, quiet, we feel safe) 4. town (i like billerica. it's neither totally blue collar or totally white collar. no 'suburban yuppie' feel to it - i.e., no starbucks or gap or whatever. it's not too expensive or too run-down.) 5. price was right. like exactly right. ($249,900) 6. schools are decent (class sizes a little above average, SAT scores and percentage of students attending college above average)
