Our Take

Easton offers affordable homes and good elementary schools, but its walkability is almost zero and public transit is practically nonexistent. If you’re okay with driving everywhere and a quieter suburban feel, it could work, but the lack of nightlife, limited dining options, and potential commute headaches make it a cautious choice.
