"There is a grand piano out on the town green all summer and most evenings people gather there to eat and admire the community-maintained gardens while they listen to whoever plays. The Harvest Fair in the fall is well attended and a great time. The weekly farmers market is first-rate as is swimming in Crystal Lake. And then there’s Halloween, when so many people go all-out. "

"Newton Centre combines the best or urban and suburban living. Eminently walkable, with a huge variety of shops and restaurants a quick stroll away and a subway stop at its heart, the neighborhood invites you to leave your car in the garage you probably have and complete your errands on foot. Parks and recreational facilities, including a large lake with a public beach, are within the neighborhood’s bounds. When you need to get somewhere by car, you’re quickly connected to two major highways and only minutes from downtown Boston and Logan Airport, but the minute you return home, you’ll hear crickets chirping and children playing and struggle to believe that your tree-lined street is so close to such a major city and its associated environment.
