Becoming part of the history in Newton Upper Falls
History thrives on the streets of Newton Upper Falls. The neighborhood joins other historical hotspots on the National Register of Historic Places, a designation that has maintained the integrity of its array of classic homes—many of which date back to the 19th century. “The historic look and feel is pretty neat,” says Dino Rossi, a local Realtor with RE/MAX Preferred Properties. Townhouses and condos make up most of the neighborhood, but single-family homes with Queen Anne designs wait for future residents. Homeowners have multiple local restaurants within walking and biking distance, such as Little Luke’s Cafe, which occupies an old train station depot. Those who want pieces of history to decorate their homes shop the antiques at Echo Bridge Mall. Although residential and retail spots fill the area, locals have a few parks to choose from when they want to reconnect with nature. They might take their kids to Bobby Braceland Playground or go for a hike at Hemlock Gorge Reservation near the historic Echo Bridge. Newton Upper Falls combines classic home styles and convenient amenities.

Townhouses and duplexes with classic designs on historic streets
Many of the homes in Newton Upper Falls were built between the 1800s and the mid-1900s, though there are also some 21st-century condos and townhomes. In addition to being part of the National Register of Historic Places, Newton Upper Falls is also listed as a Newton Local Historic District, which restricts the type of exterior modifications made to historic properties. The homes feature simple designs with limited ornamentation. “I think it keeps everything looking relatively the same as it did 100 years ago,” Rossi says. Whether new or old, properties around Newton Upper Falls share the convenience of the town’s network of sidewalks, making it easy for residents to walk to a nearby bakery or restaurant. Townhouses, duplexes and condos can often sell for $500,000 to $700,000. A handful of single-family homes exist, such as simple stick homes with wide front porches and contemporary homes with tall windows and moderate yards, and they sell for $1 million or more. “If it’s priced properly, it'll be gone within 30 days,” Rossi says. “Maybe even less than that.” Residents are often homeowners, but nearly half the population rents condos or townhouses.

Dining at Little Luke’s Cafe after antiquing
Residents have plenty of local dining destinations to choose from when they want to go out for lunch or dinner. Little Luke’s Cafe brought an old train depot back to life when it opened its doors to locals. Hungry residents step inside to order breakfast or lunch to go with their coffee or smoothie. Baltimore Bar & Grill accepts dinner reservations when residents want to plan a night out with friends or family. After an outdoor excursion, locals head right down the street for a bite to eat at Echo Bridge Restaurant & Cafe. “It’s a pretty popular place,” Rossi says, “been there a long time.” The restaurant has been family-owned and –operated since the 60s. Those who need ingredients for a homecooked meal stock up at Stop & Shop. Residents can often pick up staple groceries and premade dishes such as Russian Smetannik at Baza Gourmet Food & Spirits. Locals don’t have to travel far to find interesting retail stores. The Mall at Echo Bridge features multiple unique antique shops, including Echo Deco Antiques and Nina Rachele Decor. Anyone who wants modern clothing options visit Marshalls on Needham Street.
