Nonantum has evolved from its Italian American industrial roots into a modern residential community in Newton, Massachusetts. The area is known for its cultural heritage, visible in the Italian flag colors that decorate neighborhood streets and fire hydrants. Nonantum offers a convenient commute to Boston, with Interstate 90 nearby and MBTA train and bus service within a mile. Residents have access to highly rated schools, including Horace Mann Elementary, F. A. Day Middle and Newton North High School. Local dining options along Watertown Street include Olivia’s Bistro, Tommy Doyle’s and the nearby Bluebird Bar, known for its live jazz and eclectic menu.

Nonantum hosts several community events, like the St. Mary of Carmen Society’s Italian American festival and Nonantum Village Day, fostering a strong sense of community. Recreational opportunities abound with the athletic fields and pool at Albemarle Playground, as well as canoeing and kayaking on the Charles River. Housing in Nonantum includes a mix of late 19th and early 20th-century homes — including Colonial Revivals, Tudor Revivals and Victorians — alongside mid-20th-century Cape Cod and split-level houses. Some of the larger homes have been converted into multi-family condos, and new construction includes Scandinavian-inspired townhouses. Potential buyers should be aware that some homes are located in flood zones due to the proximity of the Charles River.
