Most places along the Red Line will command a premium FYI. It's been awhile since I looked but that price seems reasonable for FH/JP/Dot. I would add Quincy, Brookline, Milton, the North Shore and really anywhere outside the I93 ring since you intend on transiting in. Do note that outside the T lines you will need a car to get around unless you like taxing or staying in.
I could give more color but you will need to be more specific on your wants. Also note that the areas you mentioned aren't all that bad. The key is to find the pockets of good areas inside the bad zones. 1 block will be vastly different from the next block over.
And the Green line is a shit show when it gets busy.
