I've never been harassed or badgered by homeless like I am in Central Square. I can remember a few violent attacks there over the years, but I don't think any of them were random, just fights between scumbags.

QC is definitely gross in some areas - right at the T stop and around the City Hall (across the street from a shelter). I would be surprised to see that QC had more criminal activity that Somerville, Cambridge or Boston. It is really good if you are a young family or looking to buy a house or if you are young and don't happen to like the bar scene. You'd have a lot more fun and people like you in Somerville or Cambridge.

The bad: It's not that great for young single professional 20-somethings, because the nightlife is more family and townie focused. I've lived there for years and I think most of the comments in here are accurate. overall, I wouldn't recommend it to someone like me but it also could be exactly what you're looking for.

I've written a lot (typing on my phone, so it feels like a lot), so feel free to PM me if you have questions for me, I'd be happy to give you more specifics. plenty of food options, social warm spots, and ice cream places make it a worthy place to enjoy a day. there's more restaurants to choose from, the neighborhoods are a bit cleaner, you are close to Wollaston beach which might not be all that safe to swim in but has proven to be a fun spot to hang at in the summer months. I will say that the wollaston and North Quincy areas are IMO, up and coming in a slow kind of fashion. not much cheaper either, so I usually just sucked up the time it took to head north on the red line. The bar scene isn't like the rest of boston, Cambridge, or allston it's got a bit of a roughneck feel to it that I never felt welcome in. The fat cat is certainly the area gem, and Acapulcos is a tempting Mexican mirage that just ain't worth the sub par tex mex and double bogey service.

only half of all trains bear East to Quincy. if you have experienced North side red line delays, it only gets worse South of the city, a good part of that due to the JFK UMass stop where the trains split directions. Let me save you some time by discussing the T situation, if you're depending on it for work - its not great. I invited them from time to time to visit me, but the reality is for a mid 20s professional, a compelling social life within the city limits was not obvious to me, and therefore hard to sell to my friends to come visit. I had many friends who still lived in cambridge, Somerville, and medford that I spent many days after work and on the weekends to go visit them. I can tell you that I lived in Quincy (about 10 min walking south from the QC T stop) for almost 20 months, and I did not love my time there. Really depends on what kind of scene you're into, where you're moving from, etc.
