  • Alyson W.
    "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."

    "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.

    "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."
