Historic Boston Suburban Community and Home of Appleton's Pulpit 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) I have been living in Saugus Maryland for the last 4 years and have enjoyed the professional environment and classy people that live in this diverse community. I have enjoyed the small-time feel but with urban and upscale people that live in the city. One of the best areas in Sau ...Read More gus to live is in the outskirts on the Boston Massachusetts side of the city. By living in this area there is an easy commute back and forth from Boston for urban professionals that need to work in the city.

One of my favorite restaurants in Saugus is the Kowloon’s Chinese restaurant. They have delicious Chinese food with a vast menu that is second to none and will leave you breathtaking with the customer service in the atmosphere established within this well-known Saugus restaurant. The schools in Saugus are very good, however, the class sizes are larger than you would like due to budget cuts within the city's government. The weather is very cold in the winter mid 80’s in the summers but generally only last for a few months. One of the main attractions in Saugus is there Appleton's Pulpit and the Saugus Iron Works. Saugus is a great place to live and an excellent place to raise children. Read Less
