“By numbers alone, Woburn is definitely a place not to be overlooked.

“This spot had a very good quality of life rank, the 17th lowest crime, a low tax rate, a low commute time, and even a fairly low unemployment rank. All in all, this place is just a solid contender in the best places in New England competition.
