A walkable shopping district features boutiques and Mediterranean eateries operating from the first floor of 1800s rowhouses. Newton Highlands is an idyllic New England suburban neighborhood 10 minutes outside downtown Boston. “Newton is a great town to live in,” says Ryan McCormick, manager at Metro Realty Corp. in nearby Brookline. “It’s very family-oriented with good schools. That’s a lot of the appeal. It’s also close to the city and more affordable than Brookline.”
