With the commuter rail making it possible to access Boston in 5 train stops and the proximity of the freeway, Angleside is desirable for homebuyers who need to regularly traverse to the city while wanting a quiet, waterfront escape at home.

Peaceful retreats on the Charles River
When driving down the community’s winding streets that run alongside the Charles River, charming Cape Cods and sprawling modern homes are often covered by dense and leafy trees, creating a quaint, tucked-away setting. Architectural styles run the gamut from cottages and ranch styles to Colonial Revivals and split-levels. While some properties may date to the 1950s, larger houses over 3,000 square feet with open floor plans can be built as recently as in the past two decades. Smaller homes around 2,000 square feet usually list for around $1 million, with several estate properties over 4,000 square feet fetching over $2 million. Lot sizes are often around a quarter-acre, and many have backyard decks, direct water access or views of the Charles River. “The market in Angleside has very low inventory right now,” says Natalie Marsh, a Boston native Realtor at Compass with over 15 years of experience. “When something comes on the market, especially if the price is right, it flies.”
Homes in Angleside include colonial structure homes with private driveways.

Fox Park--a hidden pocket park right in Angleside
Angleside has easy access to the Charles River and lots of green space where residents can enjoy outdoor activities. Fox Park is the community’s hidden secret. This small park, located on the Charles River, isn’t often frequented by those outside of the neighborhood; it has a 1-mile-long hike trail and space for walking, running, or picnicking. Newton Boathouse, a wood and stone building that peeks through the surrounding forest and offers a 6-mile stretch of flatwater, has kayak and canoe equipment rentals, or residents can opt to store their boats here in a private, secure setting. Roberts, the community’s next-door neighbor, is home to Bobby Connors Playground, which has many play structures, a splash pad and a basketball court. Numerous golf clubs and other parks surround the area, such as The Cove, a public space in Newtown with a baseball field and pickleball courts, making it easy to escape into the peaceful outdoors.
Fox Park in Angleside gives you access to water activities like kayaking.
