Newton, MA – All Around The Town

Though Newton is well-known for its proximity to Boston, excellent schools, and picturesque homes, it is surprising to most that this large city is made up of thirteen smaller villages. Each village has its own unique look and feel. In Newton, MA, Lower Falls features scenic views of the Charles River. Newton Centre, the hub of the city, boasts trendy restaurants (Sycamore, Little Big Diner) alongside old-time staples (Bill’s House of Pizza and Johnny’s Luncheonette). Newton Highlands features a footbridge which proudly displays local art and news of the villages many events. Most of the townships host their own annual “village day” where residents join together for outdoor amusements, food and fun.

In addition to being the hometown of a few Hollywood celebrities (Comedian Louis C.K., Actor John Krasinski, Director Eli Roth, Actor B.J. Novak), Newton is one of few cities to have its own cookie named after it…Nabisco’s Fig Newton.

All the seasons are beautiful in Newton. Summer boasts farmers markets and swimming in Crystal Lake. Winter has cross-country skiing at the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. Spring in the ‘Garden City’ is reminiscent of Europe with its brick buildings and overflowing window boxes. Fall has New England-style churches with pumpkin-covered lawns and haunted houses for children at neighborhood community centers.
