Welcome to Living in Boston w/ Jane, my RU-vid channel where I share valuable information for those moving to the Boston area.
A top performing realtor, I help buyers and sellers achieve their real estate dreams, while also renovating/flipping homes with my builder husband. We have 3 terrific kids plus a fabulous daughter-in-law that we love to travel with and visit. You will find me walking the many trails in greater Boston, doing Pilates, and frequenting coffee shops. Our next family project is building a log home in Vermont.
My team speaks English, Mandarin and passable French.
Nice town, my grandfather & step- grandmother has a modest, but nice one story, red probably ranch house I guess, on Tower Rd this was early 60's till 1966-67,I was little then. I recall a couple or three, maybe four Christmas Day afternoon dinners there with some gathered step- family. Memories
Love your videos, thank you for fantastic info. Would you please do a video on Westwood as well, we love the town but can’t make a decision without your expertise ☺️
I grew up in Forge Village, it was magical then... it was a small town feel, everyone knew everyone... so much to do for kids with the lake and woods, quarries, so much fun.
If you like hard water, confused liberals, a lack of self awareness/ common sense, and taxes that double every ten years only to benefit spoiled Rugrats in the school system... This is your place!
You captured Sudbury's essence, but missed some details - the Rt 20 retail corridor (including more restaurants than the only one you mentioned in town center), our wonderful library, our July 4 parade, our long-running town meeting form of government (as quaint as Bob Newhart's Vermont), and of course who wouldn't want to live in zip code 01776? Now, if you were to do an update one year later, you could add our brand new community center and soon the TWO rail trails that intersect just north of our retail corridor: the Bruce Freeman running for 20+ miles north from Sudbury (soon to continue south to Framingham) to Lowell, and the Mass Central running east-west, eventually across the entire state!
Hey Jane, Your videos are so beautiful. I really like it. Do you know why your videos are not reaching your target audience? Because your video SEO score is very poor. You need to SEO the videos properly. I can talk to you about this in more detail if you want.
Just closed on a home in Framingham last week! Really grateful as I foresee the market becoming a frenzy in the next couple years. And you’re right, I don’t predict prices going down soon either 😅
Courtney, Sure! Coming up in April. Just so I understand, you’re specifically looking for homes in the $1 million-$1.2 million range? Check my Hopkinton video and my Acton video that are coming soon.
Thank you! Yes, specifically looking for a single family home in the $1M to $1.2M range with other young families around. Will definitely check out your Acton and Hopkinton videos!
Love your channel Jane! Could you please do a video on where young families are moving to in greater Boston? I feel like there are more houses for sale in the $800k and $1.5M+ range and not as many in the $1-1.2M range.
I’m 14 years old and I live in Iceland, I really want to move to the USA when I’m 16. If I’ll move I will live with a family that my dad knows really well in Sherborn. The question I want to ask you is about the highschool, is there a school bus that drives you to and from the school or do you just have to drive?
I couldn't stand living in any of those wealthy towns if they all acted snobby- nosed like you......People look down on regular people when they have lots of money and it shows in their expression when they have to deal with low-income people.....
After growing up in Natick and living in Sherborn for 17 years, when my two sons went to the schools in Sherborn and Dover,it is a wonderful place to live. You are wrong about the water. The only place there is town water is in the small downtown area. Everywhere else you need a private well that is maintained by the homeowners like the private septic systems. I know it's spelled Sherborn but the natives call it Sherbin. We always knew who the newcomers were by them mispronouncing the name of the town. You didn't mention all the beautiful hiking trails in town. I'm living in beautiful NH now and not missing the high taxes.
Thank you, Deb, for that correction! The taxes are high in “Sherbin”’for sure which I point out to people new to our area- it does keep the home prices lower!
Clueless woke realtor. Such shame in stating that it's '80% white' with disdain and 'We're getting better all the time'. A smart/experienced realtor would just give demographics and leave it at that, remain completely neutral. Don't inflect your opinion on such matters as race/religion/politics etc...What a turn off! and you should know better! That's real estate 101, lady you're clueless. I would never buy a house from you or trust you just based on that alone. If you were in a majority African American community or Majority Hispanic community would you say the same? Referring to Washington Heights or Harlem for example as not diverse enough? No, you would not. "It's 80% African American but we're getting better all the time". Think about it. Has nothing to do with White/black/Asian/Hispanic, it's your approach as a realtor that's all wrong.
There’s actually 4 commuter rail stations. I grew up in Needham and can honestly say I’m one of the luckiest people in the world. Needham is the greatest town in the country and I had the greatest childhood in Needham. I grew up on (my opinion) the greatest st in the greatest town. I grew up on Coolidge Ave one of the ladder streets ❤
