Which City In Massachusetts Is Best For You?

You are fiercely independent, with a never-ending well of energy. You like doing your own thing and blazing new trails. You can zip around Boston easily with public transit, getting from one end of town to the other, always busy, always on the move, just the way you like it. You constantly try new things and you don't consider it a good weekend if you haven't gotten to hang out with your friends at least once. People are always amazed at how you always seem to have so much energy. You? You just love living.

You've always been drawn to mystery and excitement. People have trouble fitting you into a category, and that's because you're unique, creative and unlike anyone else. You don't play by the rules just because people tell you to. You always weigh things carefully and do what you know to be right. The history of Salem fascinates you, with its old brick buildings and tragic past. The city is as vibrant as you are. The mystery and questions that surround this town will always keep you interested; you'll love visiting the old historic homes and you won't want to miss The Witch House.

You love beautiful things and enjoy solitude. If you could walk along the beach for a few hours your day would be perfect; just you, the sand, the water and a setting sun. It's when you're alone out in nature that you have time to think and ponder and enjoy your own thoughts. When something bothers you, you take your problems outside and think your way through them. Martha's Vineyard is full of dazzling sights, from the Gay Head Cliffs to the Edgartown Lighthouse, where you could feel at peace walking the beaches.

You've always wanted to have your cake and eat too. You want the best of both worlds. The beautiful scenic beauty of a small town, and the events and culture that comes with a large population. Provincetown only has a population of three thousand, small and cozy enough to satisfy your desire for an intimate community. But watch out! During the summer, tens of thousands of tourists come to visit, and you get to enjoy parties, events and festivals. You don't like making up your mind and now you don't have to. Because Provincetown lets you have a little bit of everything.

You've always felt that if you're not learning new things, you're not really living. You love learning. When you were younger, you'd badger your parents with questions, asking them to explain how things worked. You loved college and always put lots of effort into making your homework perfect. You are thrilled when you find someone likeminded, with whom you can discuss the deeper questions you often ponder. Cambridge is home to two top level schools, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There are so many bright minds here, students and professors, researchers and academics, people with whom you could have interesting conversations. People who could inspire your thoughts. People who value knowledge as much as you do.

You like small communities, where you can get to know everyone, where a neighbor is a friend and people care about their town. You like volunteering, helping to organize local events, getting involved in town elections and generally enjoying small town life. Living in this town you would fit right in. You'd throw yourself into helping with the annual Heath Fair. When you entered the local restaurant of Gould's Sugar House for a breakfast of fluffy pancakes and hot coffee, everyone would know you by name. You'd be the person people would trust for advice. If you moved to Heath, you'd soon feel like you've never lived anywhere else.
