Classic New England charm with plenty of urban access
Located just minutes away from downtown Boston, West Newton is one of 13 villages that comprise the city of Newton—and one that has a charm that residents can’t help but take notice of. “When you live in the village, even for just a little bit, you form a really solid connection to it,” says Realtor Dan Demeo of Demeo Realty and resident of the area since 2000. “My family had a restaurant in the area when I was younger, and people still remember it—it’s a very ‘community-first’ place.” With its highly walkable streets, old-school style and access to a bustling urban metropolis, West Newton is a place where residents can stretch out and enjoy the view—without missing out on amenities or excitement.

Old-School style with new and established developments
“Houses around here don’t stay available for long,” says Demeo, and it’s true—the village’s housing market is thriving. Though notable for its classic New England style, there’s no shortage of newer developments. Walking down Price Street will lead one down a gallery of Dutch Colonials, while a stroll down Commonwealth Avenue features a variety of ranch style homes. Prices in the neighborhood range depending on the type of style and age of a house—with 3-bedroom condos/ranch style homes ranging from $800,000 to $1.2 million. Renovated Victorians, Colonials, and newer townhomes range in price from $1.5 million to $5.5 million.

The high school system is good. Allows for diversification and a finding of careers for young adults. The middle schools are not the greatest. The overall quality of life is just average. There isn't much to do in Newton and all the neighborhoods have some sort of gossip because it's mostly just white folks. The roads are god awful.
