Living in Newton, MA
This historical town was settled in 1630 as part of "the newe towne," and was later named Cambridge in 1638. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Newton-based historian Diana Muir referred to Newton as one of America's first commuter towns. After the developments of railroads in the area, Bostonians began to build beautiful homes within Newton, many of which still exist to this day. During the automobile boom in the 1920s, the area became a popular spot for upper middle class citizens. However, to this day, the majority of Newton residents work within the city and rarely commute to Boston or any of the surrounding cities for their careers.

There are a number of spots throughout the city that will fit anyone's taste.
