For $600K, you should be able to get single family house (~2000 sq) at
Westwood, even at RT128 Station area. It will take less than 20 minutes in
the morning from 128 Station to South station by train.
There is no train station at Medfield, you have to drive.

google map shows, it's a short drive from Medfield to train station. Is it
true?
Can you talk more about Medfield? Do you think it's a nice choice for
chinese family?

Many people in Medfield work in Boston. The commute is a little bit long,
but bearable by Boston standard. In general, going to South Station will
take approximately one hour. There are train stations at nearby Norwood and
Walpole, which is about 5-12 minutes away, but do look for houses in the
eastern or southern part of the town. Other parts of the town are too remote
for city commute.
Other than commute to the city, Medfield is almost perfect. It is beautiful,
quiet and peaceful. You get bigger lot, larger and newer house. The school
is top notch, but by no means tagged as "exam schools" such as Acton and
Lexington.
In comparison with Newton, Sharon, and Lexington, Medfield has much smaller
Asian population, but the number is on the rise. In fact, in the last few
years, more and more Chinese move to traditional White neighborhoods such as
Wellsley, Concord, Carlisle, even Dover and Sherborn. Westwood's
popularity to Chinese is also a recent phenomena.
Moving to a white neighborhood can be both a blessing and a cursing. On the
negative side, it is harder to make Asian friends at school. On the plus
side, the kid is forced to learn to socialize with non-Asians.
Despite small Chinese population in Medfield, the town does value the
importance of educating its students about China. The elementary school
offers Chinese language program as early as 4th grade and considers moving
it even further to K2 in the near future. Of course, Chinese language
programs offered in American school can never compare with Chinese school.
In this regard, Chinese parents in Medfield usually send their children to
Westwood Chinese school in the weekend.
One thing you might want to take consideration is each town's median house
price. For 600K-700K in Wellesly or Dover, you will almost for sure live in
a "poor" neighborhood. But for the same amount of money, you will live in
an upper middle class neighborhood in Sharon. For parents, it may not matter
; but for kids, sometime it does.

700k在newton真心找不到什么像样的房子。
首先不太可能>2000sqft,如果大于2000sqft基本上可以肯定是location不好或者有什
么硬伤。

我们也是从别的低收入州搬过来,原来的房子和这里的差别很大。我们的agent很好,
从头开始慢慢地给我们讲解这边的房子。我觉得你同时要先做好功课,加上个好的
agent,3到4月内应该可以找到你喜欢的房子。我们就是去年3月初开始找,6月底close
。稍微有点仓促,但还能接受。

Southborough is very beautiful. The whole town is like a big park.
Hopkinton is also nice.
But commute wise, the time to Boston is even longer than Wayland and
Medfield. This explains why the housing there are cheaper.
