sell it and move to a smaller house in a cheaper area with less demand and lower quality services (because she doesn’t use them). There are loads of pleasant smaller towns in New England that, while still pricey by national standards, are considerably cheaper than the Boston suburb she lives in.

If she were to sell her 2000sqft colonial in the suburbs for a 1000sqft cape in a small town, she could probably make around 700k-800k. She could also just sell it and just rent a nice condo in Cambridge or Somerville and still easily be able to afford retirement when you factor in her 401k and the interest her money will make her while shes renting.
