    "It’s perfect Thor a single or for a family! Such great stuff here! Feels like s city, and a suburb. Walk to bars or playgrounds easily "
  • Burnimday
    "Love all that it has to offer. Restaurant, shopping, post office, bank, bakery, churches, walks along the river. "
  • Marie P.
    "Newton is an excellent city to live in. Because its a large city (85K population) it has a large offering of amenities for all types of residents from an excellent public library, senior housing and activities/transportation, and excellent schools. But yet it is divided into 13 villages so you never feel like you're in a large city. You get the suburban feel with the urban amenities only 5 miles to Boston. Public transportation is excellent with bus, rail, and subway throughout. I've been living here since 1991 and working as an agent for 14 years. Would be happy to discuss details with any prospective residents..."
  • Sam C.
    "This is a great part of Newton- hidden gem. 10 minutes to Cambridge, Brookline and Boston. Safe. Quiet."
