Move for the commute, stay for the atmosphere
The Massachusetts Turnpike divides the neighborhood and gives residents quick access to Downtown Boston, 12 miles away. The popular school system, convenient transit options and classic home styles make Auburndale a desirable place to live. Valerie Wastcoat, an experienced Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty- Newton who was born and raised in Auburndale, says, “Auburndale is a suburb with a city feel. People move here for the schools and the commute options while still being close to Boston.” Residents get involved with the community in many ways, including joining one of the more than 80 board committees or running for City Council. Others practice their swing at the Woodland Golf Club or take a stroll around Auburndale Park. Locally owned restaurants keep hungry residents fed with menus packed with tasty bites, and shopping for groceries takes no time with Star Market and Trader Joe’s. Whether residents move in for the schools or easy commute, they’ll find even more reasons to stay in Auburndale.

Million-dollar Queen Annes and Cape Cods fill Auburndale
The Auburndale neighborhood offers residents homes with a variety of designs, including renovated Queen Annes from the late 1800s, new contemporary Cape Cods with large windows, simple Cape Cods with wide front porches and post-modernism homes with unique structures. “There are some condos north of the turnpike, and larger homes sit in the south,” Wastcoat says. Most homes sell for $1 million to $2 million, but savvy homeowners might find a 3-bedroom home for $800,000 to $925,000. Those interested in a home in Auburndale shouldn’t hesitate for long, because plenty of units sell in less than a month of being on the market. Almost every home features uncovered parking and moderate yards. Seeing cars parked on the side of the street won’t be a surprise, and the skinny sidewalks give residents a path to follow around the neighborhood.

The Knotty Pine makes breakfast the best meal of the day
Residents don’t have to travel all the way into Boston to find popular dining destinations. Neighbors love The Knotty Pine, a locally owned restaurant that serves delicious breakfast and lunch items. “Knotty Pine is great, even kids love it.” When hungry residents need tasty dishes to go, they order lunch at Tom’s Pizza and Sandwich Shop. People of all ages visit Ward 4 for a sit-down dinner, and friends meet up at the bar to catch up over cocktails. Just nearby, locals pick up groceries at Star Market. Others drive down Washington Street to shop at Trader Joe’s. Anyone who wants to find new pieces for their wardrobe shop at The Dressing Room or Studio 1851. For more retail options, residents visit Waltham across the Charles River to visit Linden Plaza or the Main Street Marketplace.

Auburndale residents cheer on Boston Marathon participants
Residents cheer on athletes running the Boston Marathon every year. The route runs down Washington Street near the Woodland Country Club, and Auburndale residents make the trip to join in on the fun. Newton also draws in Auburndale locals who want to visit the Newton Harvest Fair every October to hop on carnival rides and see live music. Others wait until May for the live public art event, local vendors and arts and craft workshops at Family FunFEST.
Making strategic moves at Newton North High School
Kids pack their backpacks before heading off to Williams Elementary School, which gets an A from Niche. Later on, they attend the A-plus-rated F.A. Day Middle School. Newton North High School features a championship-winning chess team and girls' volleyball team. NHS also earns an A-plus. Many private schools, such as the all-boys Fessenden School, sit within and around the neighborhood. Lasell University, a private university founded in 1851, covers the neighborhood's southern area. “We have a great community here. Parents get involved with the schools, too,” Wastcoat says.

Norumbega Park has a history of fun
Norumbega Park, now a sprawling hiking and dog-walking area with over 80 acres of green land, was once the site for one of America’s earliest amusement parks. Today, people walk the trails, look out over the Charles River or relax on a log bench surrounded by towering trees. Some visitors even bring their kayaks to sail out on the river for a day on the water. Parents take their kids further north to play at Auburndale Playground, also known as “The Cove”. The park features basketball courts, tennis courts, a baseball field, walking trails, playground equipment and a fitness equipment station. Those who live on the east side of the neighborhood might take their kids to the Reverend Ford Playground behind the Myrtle Baptist Church on Curve Street.
Nature thrives in the Norumbega Park.

Taking the bus, train or turnpike into Boston
Many residents drive along the Massachusetts Turnpike along I-90 into Boston when it’s time to clock in, but a large number also save on gas by using the MBTA Commuter Rail station in Auburndale, Riverside or West Newton. The MBTA bus lines run along Commonwealth Avenue and takes riders up to Waltham before the route ends at Newton Corner. Residents might also choose NewMo, the city-wide rideshare option for traveling within the city proper, or rent a Bluebike to ride along the sidewalks.
Auburndale residents have access to the MBTA Commuter Rail as well as quick access to Mass Pike.
Residents who want to fly down the Auburndale sidewalks can rent a Bluebike.

If you can ' watch' your neighbor's kids or have play dates, that is how you are appreciated- temporarily. Don't be fooled, you are valued with what you can offer other people. Not really life long friends but users.

It's a really nice place to live, especially if you have kids. For people who are younger adults, there isn't much to do but at least it's on the green line.
