Newton, MA apartments for rent

Life in Newton is impossible to describe (but that doesn’t mean we won’t try!). It is located just a stone’s throw away from Beantown, yet it is a world apart in every conceivable way.
Newton is an old city full of suburban families. The streetscape looks as if it were preserved in a time capsule for future generations. Most of the houses, buildings and churches are on the National Register of Historic Places, and the sea of picture-perfect tudor-style homes gives it a Pleasantville vibe. Newton has been called home by John Krasinski, BJ Novak, Louis CK, Matt Le Blanc, Girls' Alex Karpovsky, Jack Lemmon, and Anne Sexton - and that line up is a great example of how the Newton culture can rub off on you.
