Maybe you're looking for a change of pace. Whether you currently reside in a big smog-filled, noisy metropolis, or a small Midwestern town, Boston is small enough to be considered a "walking city", but large enough to offer all of the variety, options for recreation, and job opportunities you'll find in a large city. If this is not enough to make you start looking into some Boston area real estate, then these seven reasons to move to Boston just might do the trick.

1. Safety
In October, 2009, Forbes.com placed Boston as the fourth safest city in America. In the early 90s, Boston was a city ravaged by gang and drug-related violence. Thanks to the cooperative efforts on the part of the entire city (the so called "Boston Miracle"), crime was significantly lowered, and the city now ranks as one of the safest metropolitan areas to live in.

2. Health care
Also according to Forbes.com, Massachusetts is seventh in the list of best states for health care, placing in within the top ten, mainly due to the law passed by Massachusetts's legislature in 2006 which required residents to have health coverage. A study conducted by the Commonwealth Fund ranked health care in Massachusetts as one of the highest across five main areas: healthy living, potentially avoidable hospital use and costs, prevention and treatment, access to health care system, and differences in health care among income and ethnic groups.

3. Beaches
The proximity to Cape Cod's beaches is definitely a great reason to move to the Boston areas if you always dreamed of owning a boat of your own. The oldest public beach in the US, Revere Beach, hosts the annual New England Sand Sculpting Festival. The Boston Harbor Islands also offer a large variety of outdoor options from camping to hiking, just to name a few.

4. Education
Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, Tufts, etc...the list of universities Boston is home to boasts some of the best in the world. A great advantage for those looking to further their education.

5. History
Any history buff, or even anyone remotely interested in American history, will agree that Boston is THE place for historical sights and tours. You have the option to tour creepy cemeteries or revisit the events surrounding the Boston Tea Party, among many others.

6. Nightlife
A large variety of hotspots, fabulous restaurants, and vibrant clubs make Boston a great place to enjoy a night out on the town, any day of the week.

7. Seafood
Seafood lovers won't be disappointed by the dishes on offer in most of Boston's finest restaurants. Also, from March 14-16, 2010, Boston will host the International Boston Seafood Show, the biggest North American seafood event and one you won't want to miss.

Still want more reasons to relocate and start looking for houses for sale in Boston? That's another great reason: the wide variety of Boston real estate available. From luxury condos with panoramic views of Boston Harbor to spacious homes in Bay Back, you'll surely find the property to suit your needs, one that will allow you to start enjoying everything Boston has to offer.
