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.

Saugus is a great place to live and an excellent place to raise children. Read Less
