New England history and modern convenience in Newton Lower Falls

In the American Revolution, the village was a major center for the production of gunpowder for George Washington's army. Today, the juxtaposition of old-world elegance and modern-day conveniences creates a tapestry that's rich in culture.
“Newton Lower Falls is just this little pocket of Newton of about 15 streets right on the river with plenty of green space,” says Melanie Fleet, local broker with Keller Williams Realty and Newton resident. “Lower Falls has more single-family homes, and Upper Falls has more historic homes.”
