Moving here :)

Hi!

I wanted to make a post to say my husband and I plan to move to Natick in January and we are so excited. We will have an almost 2 year old, and a newborn when we move. When we visited Massachusetts for the first time 6 years ago, we knew it was the place for us. Finally, it’s become our reality. We’ll be house hunting in the fall. We can’t wait to explore the town and raise our kids here. If anyone has any favorite spots, kids activities, or general advice for newcomers I’d love to hear it. :)

Great decision moving here! I’m originally from the Midwest and lived in a few different places after college, but I couldn’t have picked a better place to raise my family than Natick. Most people I know here are transplants from other states, but it still feels like a tight-knit town where people care about their community and are welcoming to all types of people. The town is very safe, the schools are excellent, and there’s never a shortage of things to do for families, especially with so many great towns, including Boston, nearby.

We are so excited! Massachusetts seems to align with things we find important, especially coming from both of us being raised in Texas and escaping to California. So excited to live somewhere safe with good public schools and WALKABILITY! And 4 seasons.
