Newton Homes for Sale

Over twelve thousand years ago, the Native American Massachusetts tribe lived, worked, and played on the land that now comprises Newton, Massachusetts. The English settlement of Newtown began in the early 1600s and by the 1630s was known as Cambridge Village. The community became an independent township in 1688 and thereafter was known by several names, prior to officially becoming Newton in 1691, then becoming a city in 1874. Today, this vibrant community comprises thirteen unique villages situated just outside of Boston. The city is highly regarded for its beautiful open spaces, community spirit, and quality education. In fact, it has repeatedly been named as one of the ten best communities in which to reside.

Home to roughly eighty thousand citizens and around twenty-six thousand homes, Newton also encompasses Lasell College, UMass Amherst at Mount Ida Campus, and Boston College. Additionally, the most well-equipped library in the Commonwealth, the Newton Free Library, is here; and the Boston Marathon cuts directly through the city. Comprising just over eighteen square miles, Newton is bordered by West Roxbury, Needham, Wellesley, Weston, Waltham, Watertown, Brighton, and Brookline. Adding to its appeal, it boasts north-south and east-west highway infrastructure with Route 95 and Route 90 running through it, and other highways in proximity.

Newton is a family-friendly community served by Newton Public Schools. The district serves more than twelve thousand students with two alternative high school programs, two comprehensive high schools, four middle schools, and fifteen elementary schools. All of the above-mentioned features make Newton real estate highly desirable. Real estate in Newton consists of a wide variety of residences that include new construction and historic and period homes.
