Score Breakdown
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.
