Residential village with easy access to Boston
Newton Corner is one of 13 villages that make up Newton, just 6 miles west of Downtown Boston. Famous Fig Newton bars, first baked at F.A. Kennedy Steam Bakery in Cambridge in 1891, got their name from this community dating back to the late 17th century. The arrival of the Boston and Worcester Railroad in the mid-19th century transformed Newton from a small village with farms into a major manufacturing hub. The area continued to expand residentially through the 20th century, before the construction of the Massachusetts Turnpike in the 1960s resulted in the demolition of several historic neighborhoods and most of Newton Corner’s village center. Residential renovations and construction of mid-rise buildings continue to this day.
Farlow Park, Newton Community Golf Course
Farlow Park, the community’s first park listed on the National Historic Register, is a 5-acre facility with a footbridge, toddler area and athletic fields. Burr Park offers a baseball field and a recreation building with game rooms. Eliot Memorial Park and Charlesbank Park are smaller spaces that offer peaceful escapes from the daily routine. Newton Community Golf Course, a public 18-hole course, is in the village's southeastern corner and includes water and sand bunkers. The Oak Square YMCA is 1 mile east and offers two fitness centers and an indoor pool. Many residents spend summer evenings and weekends at the Newton Yacht Club on the banks of the Charles River. The club, which requires membership, hosts annual events and leads boating safety courses. Nearby Daly Rink, an indoor ice-skating facility, resurfaces the ice every hour. The rink is available for birthday parties, public skating times and can also be rented for private use.
Chains and local restaurants close by
Newton Corner is home to a variety of chain and independent restaurants. Thai Amarin on Centre Street serves traditional pad Thai and curry dishes, and Social Restaurant and Bar has a diverse lunch and dinner menu with signature cocktails. Sweet Rossella Bakery, located on Vernon Street, is a family-operated, authentic Italian bakery. While Newton Corner does have a Walgreens, it’s necessary to venture outside the village for groceries and other shopping necessities. The closest grocery store is Whole Foods Market on Washington Street.
Family FunFEST, Newton House Tour
Each May, the community comes out for Family FunFEST, an event packed with art and entertainment and in July, Newton celebrates the Fourth of July with amusement rides and fireworks. Newton also hosts a Harvest Fair each October, a two-day event that includes food, performances and live music. For those looking for something a little more low-key, the annual Newton House Tour, a celebration of local architectural history and design, takes place in May.
Refurbished condos and historic Victorians and colonials
Homes in this neighborhood include refurbished condominiums and Victorian-style properties that have been converted into two- and three-bedroom townhouses. There are also single-family residences in Victorian and colonial styles built in the late 1800s. Homes here sell for $1.5 million to $3 million, and condos sell for $700,000 to $900,000.
Newton offers some of the best schools in the state
Kids may start at Underwood Elementary, which gets an A from Niche, before transitioning to Bigelow Middle, which also has an A. Students may then attend Newtown North High with an A-plus, which Niche ranks as one of Massachusetts's best public high schools.
Take the Purple or Green Line to Boston
While the village is divided by the Massachusetts Turnpike, much of Newton Corner is still walkable. Located just 7 miles from Boston, commuters can go south to Boston College station and take the Green Line, or head west to Newtonville station for the Purple Line.
