What about public Transportation such as subways, buses, etc?

Hi again, just wanted to add that I do think Hyde Park and Mattapan could be good investments as both have transport links and some leafy streets.

My suggestion for you is to take a look at the various means of transportation (Commuter Rail, Subway, Bus) and make a decision based on that.

But I take public transportation to my current job but within the next two months will require me to have use of a vehicle.

For perspective homes seem to rent from 1600-2500 in this area and a "cheap" home is around the mid 300 to low 400k mark once you are north of foothill prices seem to climb.Also, does the inclusion of transportation increase rents/prices in relation to the savings over private transportation ?

Great nightlife, top 3 public transportation systems (ease of use and accessibility).Hawaii: Live on Oahu so a bit biased.

When the house arrives at the site it is on a steel trailer, but that is only for transportation. 

But we are banking on a major transportation project breaking ground within a year, and that $650/month will jump to $850.http://www.freep.com/interactive/article/20140413/OPINION05/304130023/michigan-average-top-income-IRS-richestThe Model I see everyone doing is take a larger home cut it 2-4 different ways and rent it out.

Locally for me you have to meet various ratios of commercial and residential low density, and it has to be close to public transportation.
