We chose Chelmsford because it was near where John was working at the time, and we liked the house better than any of the other ones we'd seen. I think I looked at around 50 houses!
But it takes an hour to get to Cambridge with a car, longer by transit. Maybe this wouldn't be as much of a factor if we didn't have the kids, or if our schedule weren't an early one. (We're usually in bed by 9:30 or 10)
The Dorchester argument isn't quite applicable, because when folks go to Dorchester, they're going to a large concentration of people in the multi-houses, not just to two people. The gravity equation is a little different, even if you throw really good parties.
