Accessible living in a Belmont neighborhood
With distinguished New England architecture, Waverly Square is a Belmont community with a collegiate feel near Cambridge and Harvard Square. Progressing from a rural commune to a railroad center and a streetcar suburb, the neighborhood today attracts many residents with academic backgrounds and is sought after for its proximity to nearby universities. Locals enjoy convenient commuter access, pedestrian and bicycle-friendly streets, highly rated public schools and recreational opportunities, making Waverley Square a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle that is right by the metropolis. “Waverley Square is a vibrant commercial center in Belmont, and it’s mostly an urban community,” says Adriana Poole, a Belmont resident, town hall member for 14 years and Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Commonwealth with 8 years of experience. “Trapelo Road makes it easy to connect to other places, and you have the commuter train right in the neighborhood.”
