The suburbs west of Beantown
Newton is a storied city just under 7 miles west of Boston, a patchwork town comprised of 13 villages that have steadily suburbanized over the course of the last five centuries. Newton Centre is the main commercial hub of this town, boasting the largest downtown area of all these villages. The busy shopping centers and clusters of restaurants are balanced neatly by the community’s plentiful green space. Winding residential streets are lined with tall trees, paved sidewalks and a collection of Cape Cod and Victorian-style houses that lend the neighborhood a storybook atmosphere. With its stellar school district, proximity to the city and thriving restaurant scene, residents can enjoy all Beantown has to offer and still feel settled in at home.
