Newton

Newton is Greater Boston's benchmark family suburb, a city of around 88,000 people about 7 miles west of downtown, organized into 13 distinct villages each with its own commercial center, character, and price point. The median sale price runs between $1.5 and $1.85 million depending on the village, with single family homes averaging close to $1.9 million and condos around $685,000. Newton Public Schools rank among the top 10 districts in Massachusetts, and the city has the best transit profile in the corridor, with the Green Line D branch, three Framingham/Worcester commuter rail stations, and direct Mass Pike access. Newton was the first city in Greater Boston to adopt MBTA 3A zoning, with the Village Center Overlay District passed in December 2023 and full state compliance reached in 2025, which has materially changed development potential in the village centers.
