In and around Cambridge, (i) English is common, (ii) cost of living is not low and in particular housing is annoyingly expensive, and (iii) immigration is I think easier than to the US, though for inhabitants of the rest of Europe it recently became more difficult than it had been before.
Also relevant: Cambridge has a world-class university and a pretty strong (though not Bay-Area-strong) ecosystem of technology companies.
Strictly, I’m a few miles out of Cambridge.
