Some of these posts, while possibly a bit nonresponsive, were still intended to provide you the assistance with which you originally posted.
Very well put.

My bias against Chelsea is partly historical -- the whole King Arthur's thing and all -- and partly due to the fact that the parts of Chelsea with which I'm familiar don't look at all different today than they did 20 or 30 years ago (although the ethnic makeup has changed considerably). I'll investigate Admiral's Hill, but if I do leave Boston, my inclination is to head west or northwest -- I'm thinking Cambridge, Arlington, Lexington, Belmont, maybe the north side of Newton, maybe Watertown. Part of the reason for this is that my daughter lives with her mother in Lincoln and goes to school in Belmont, so I like the idea of sticking with that corridor.
