Such as? I feel like New England is like 90% sprawling suburbs like the rest of the country.

Also by downtown I do mean a real downtown with actual amenities.

@LibertyLizard @btsax Look at the MBTA commuter rail map (or NJ Transit, SEPTA around Philadelphia, or Metra around Chicago). A lot of the regional rail stops are in or near historic downtowns that provide some downtown amenities plus rail access to the bigger city. Houses near those downtowns are generally more expensive than sprawlier suburbs but cheaper than the central city.

Yeah that's probably the closest that exists honestly.

But really what I want does not exist.
