Parks & Nature
There is a lake/beach for all to go swimming at. I love walking the numerous trails, and they have some that are easy and more challenging!

Essentials
There is a great grocery store that has very fresh items at inexpensive prices nearby. I get all my meats, fishes, fruits, vegetables and anything else here. For those that like Whole Foods, Stop & Shop or Shaws, they are all very close as well.

Traveler advice
Getting around
MBTA website can map out how to get to Boston destinations
Plug in where you want to go for public transportation. The North Ave commuter rail is a short walk from the house or if you want to take the subway, it is about 10-15 minute drive to Oak Grove or Malden Station.
