I have worked and lived in Watertown for many years. I hope to stay in this town but rents keep rising which makes it hard to imagine it for the long haul. Great town!!! I love the growth but fear the impact on housing availability.
Still hoping to hear about plans for elderly housing in Watertown. The waiting list is getting longer all the time.
