Moving to Boston


Boston has managed to be both iconically American and the country's most European city. This duality is perfect for expats who, in moving to Boston, get to enjoy vibrant USA culture with a European quality of life.

Boston is one of America's first cities and has retained the colonial roots of its English expat founders. Cafés, museums, book stores and pubs dot walkable and antiquated city neighbourhoods. Great public schools in Boston, attractive districts and high paying jobs are all reasons expats are now moving to Boston. Yet Boston's charms come with one of the most expensive costs of living in the country.

While Los Angeles has the fun, New York the money and Washington the power, Boston has the brains. This incredibly academically driven city is home to the nation's best universities, including Harvard and MIT, some of the best hospitals and research centres, and a highly educated population. This has encouraged technology and research industries to take advantage of its workforce.
 
Moving to Boston is perfect for expats looking to engage on the forefront of science, technology and industry. Yet for all of its innovation, Boston is rooted in well-established institutions and an old-world ambience.
