The south side of the city and Houghs Neck are the more affordable locations for first time buyers. That said, the Red Line can be unreliable, particularly post-derailment , and Quincy residents who rely on the Braintree line have been dealt the brunt of it.

Older, more working class neighborhoods lie south in Quincy, Braintree, and Dedham, mixed in with commercial areas. From there, living choices lie primarily along three corridors. The I corridor, farthest west and south of the inner beltway, is the fastest growing area, especially out towards Foxboro and beyond.
Excellent family communities can be found in and around Westwood, Sharon, and Attleboro. The State Route 24 corridor to the east is more commercial but also has good residential areas: Randolph, Avon and the old mill town of Brockton. Finally, areas south and west of State Route 3 offer excellent housing and good values — the Hanovers and the Pembrokes are classic with lots of small lakes adding to the scenery.

Most areas are covered with dense, deciduous forest. The climate is complex. Storm tracks, latitude, and the coastal location work together to guarantee changing weather patterns and significant precipitation. Hot summer afternoons are frequently relieved by locally celebrated sea breezes, particularly close to shore.
Winter cold is moderated by the relatively warm ocean. Summer precipitation comes mainly as intermittent showers and thunderstorms. Snow on the ground is prevalent with occasional thaws. Fog can be expected all times of year. First freeze is early November, last is early April—but add a month to each end in inland suburban locations. Recent job growth is Positive. Quincy jobs have increased by 4.
