Welcome to Newton

Newton, "The Garden City," offers a unique tapestry of thirteen distinctive villages, each with its own character and center, rather than a single downtown area. Located just seven miles from Boston, Newton provides excellent schools, extensive parks covering nearly 20% of the city, and diverse housing options from historic Victorians to contemporary homes. With convenient transit connections, vibrant village centers filled with local shops and dining, and a rich cultural scene featuring year-round events, Newton consistently ranks among New England's most desirable places to live.
