Boston is a very nice little city. It is much smaller then Toronto. Climate is OK. A little bit too hot during the summer and a little bit too many snowstorms during the Winter Season.
I have not seen 2 bedrooms for 1500 for a while. In a good area with good school it will be more like 2500. Three-bedroom house in any nice town will start from at least 350000. And it will be a little shack for this money.
3 Bedroom apartment in Brookline is around 370000 and up. If it is 3700000 it will need a lot of work.
It is expensive, but looks like prices are going down, but not sharply
In over all life is good here..

Fima Thanx for replying. We have opportunity to move to Massachusetts(Hudson or Marlboro), but I'm afraid "meniat shilo na mylo".
This is what I got when moved from Israel to Toronto. By the way so feel majority of former Israelis whom I met here.
I was wondering: -How with job in Boston (in Toronto even for good programmer it's a problem; actually available only heavy lifting and security);
- Is it expensive city?
- What are prices for rent and "for buy"?
- Is Jewish community help with job or whatever (in Toronto JIAS helps only for themselves)
- Any info about schools?
- what about crime?

It really depends of what your expectations and dreams are:
1. The economy is getting worse, so finding a job is not as easy as it used to be a year ago.
2. It is a very expensive city. 2 bedroom goes for about 1,500 a month or more.
(Could be cheaper in Marlborough - it's rather far away from Boston) If you were to buy I wouln't hope to buy anything decent for less than 300K right now. You can check real estate and appartment listings on www.boston.com
3. I wouldn't bet on JIAS help, but anything is possible (I am not a specialist in this.)
The schools are good in Newton, Acton, Brookline, Needham, Belmont, Lexington.
The crime is very low unless you move to some highly troubled and very isolated neighborhoods...
