Comparing towns fairly
Compare the same things in each town: zoning approach, typical lot character, town services, tax rate, commute routes and distance to daily errands. Confirm school assignment by exact address, since it does not follow town boundaries.
When the border matters
Homes near town lines can look identical yet follow different rules. Confirm the jurisdiction before relying on any town-specific expectation.
