Similar to some of the other posters, I'd recommend the metro west suburbs Brookline, Newton, Wellesley (though I don't know how young the pop is here). Brookline and Newton in particular are pretty easy to commute into Boston and are more urban and young, however, they can be expensive so it depends on how close to $1K she wants to stay.
Cambridge/Allston/Brighton aren't bad (and VERY close to the Mass Pike), though as others have mentioned can be over run with college students--though there are pockets of somewhat older and older residents.
Southie is nice (and close to the Pike, but that much further from Worcester). While normal time/distance wise Worcester isn't too far, I think traffic should be s HUGE consideration for your friend even though she is doing a reverse commute.
