Classic New England charm with plenty of urban access
Located just minutes away from downtown Boston, West Newton is one of 13 villages that comprise the city of Newton—and one that has a charm that residents can’t help but take notice of. “When you live in the village, even for just a little bit, you form a really solid connection to it,” says Realtor Dan Demeo of Demeo Realty and resident of the area since 2000. “My family had a restaurant in the area when I was younger, and people still remember it—it’s a very ‘community-first’ place.” With its highly walkable streets, old-school style and access to a bustling urban metropolis, West Newton is a place where residents can stretch out and enjoy the view—without missing out on amenities or excitement.
