"I grew up in newton. Lots to do! Crystal lake, 4th of July at Fessenden, farmers markets. Nice sense of community and very safe! Now feels more urban but still come back from downtown Boston to visit family on the weekends."

"Many nearby parks / trails to walk your pup. Sidewalks are everywhere so you don't have to worry about walking in the street. One con is the size of yards. Unless you purchase an expensive home you are unlikely to have a decent space for your dog to use."

"West Newton offers a diverse shopping selection. There are numerous shops, many of which are small and owned by locals, where you can find just about anything you're looking for. If you're hungry, you can find just about any food, whether it's Mediterranean, Chinese, BBQ, home style diners, and I could go on!"

"Diversity of backgrounds, commonality of values. We raise our kids together in this neighborhood, we celebrate each other’s wins and losses. We come out to catch up in the middle of the street on weeknight evenings and weekend afternoons, and we plan events like July 4th together, since the city fireworks show is part of an evening stroll around our block.

"Iv lived here for 4 years it’s super safe friendly accessible with lots to do the only thing I’d say it’s lacking is clothing stores but there’s plenty or supermarkets and restaurants and bars and everything els I walk my dog sometimes at 2am because I’m a bartender and get home late and never have felt scared or in danger I meet lots of neighbors outside cause everyone seems to have a dog and has to walk them cause there’s no fences in yards so it’s nice cause you get to know people I love it "

"We love our neighborhood! Lots of families, a good mix of different types of people. I have kids in Franklin and we are pleased with our experience with this school. We love being walking distance to Gath Pool and the fireworks on the fourth. West Newton Square is great place to walk for a date night or a Saturday morning movie with the kids. It is a good blend of city and town feel, with a lot of intellectuals, academics, and just super interesting people for neighbors."
