Advice on where to live (lemm.ee)

Hi there,

I will be moving to Boston with my wife and our two year old. I will be working in Cambridge (Kendall/MIT being the closest transit stop). I was wondering what would be some good places to live when our budget is about 4000 USD/mo. Ideally we would like to have access to a garden, but not being too far from the city. Any advice gratefully received.

4k for a 2br anywhere around Cambridge should be plenty.

Thanks. Would you recommend living around Cambridge for a young family? What's the chance of getting somewhere with a garden?

no. and very low

What do you mean by garden? A place a kid can play, like the British usage?

Indeed, I've apparently inadvertently given myself away.
