Newcomer intro and question regarding commute

Hi ladies!  I'm new to this board so I thought I'd introduce myself first before asking a question.  DH and I moved from NYC to Boston this past summer and so far we're loving it.  We haven't met too many people yet except for those through work, so I am eager to "meet" all of you and learn a bit more about Boston.  

My question is, DH is looking at a job prospect in the Chelmsford/ Lowell area.  We're currently living in Brookline.  Any ideas on how bad his commute would be traveling from Brookline during rush hour?

Re: Newcomer intro and question regarding commute

  • Welcome to the area and to the board!  There are lots of Chelmsford area ladies here so I'm sure they'll be able to answer your question better than I can. 
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • He would be going against the traffic, so it probably wouldn't be too bad. I think it's about 45 minutes ish.

    Welcome to the board and the area though! I hope you are liking it :-)

  • Welcome to the boards! Not sure about the commute but wanted to say hi!
  • Welcome! I used to commute from Brighton to Burlington and it was an ok commute going there... going home I hit a lot of traffic on 95S.
  • Hi! Welcome! :-)

    I don't know about the commute either, I live on the South Shore, but hope you are liking Boston so far!

  • I'm no help regarding those areas but welcome!
  • Welcome!

    I live in the Chelmsford/Lowell area.  He probably wouldn't have any problems getting to work in the morning since he'd be going against traffic.  Going home may be a little tougher.  95 can be bad in both directions, but going south is better than going north, so that's good for him.

  • My BIL commutes from Wellesley to Lowell.  You're looking at 45 min- an hour, depending on weather on traffic
  • Welcome!!  DH and I moved from NYC to the Boston area, too, one summer before you did.  Unfortunately, I can't help much on the commuting advice as I am in the South Shore area.   I love the Brookline area, though, great choice!
