What Can $1.5 Million Get You in Sudbury Vs. Boston?

SUDBURY, MA — It's a matter of preference. For some, owning a slice of property in the heart of a desirable area in Boston is worth more than a sprawling home in a suburb. For others, living outside the city in a house - with a lawn - is their idea of the perfect home setting.
