    "The neighborhood has fantastic access to the Cove on the Charles River, a wonderful park. The area is quiet, but has amazing accessibility to the whole Boston area via I-90, I-95, Green Line, Commuter Rail, and Express Bus. The community hosts an annual PorchFest block party with dozens of bands playing on front porches, which is a highlight every year."

    "Newton is a community of friendly smart people, excellent and progressive schools, and very very safe neighborhoods. It’s relatively diverse for a generally wealthy town, with lots of mixed income housing and some great blue collar neighborhoods. Our kids’ small elementary school (Burr) community had 27 languages other than English spoken at home. "

    "Auburndale is one of the communities of Newton and not the most expensive. Connected to 128, the Pike, subway, train station, bus, etc. Probably one of the best towns and this area of Newton is only 20 minutes from downtown via the Mass Pike or the train. Subway is 3/4 of a mile. Perfect for kids but the neighborhood has all ages and family compositions. Few houses on sale and many are sold without advertising. Ask around. Houses are not cheap but they never loose value because of the schools, etc. "
