Most would say Newton is an aesthetically pleasing and charming city, with a comfortable and friendly vibe. There are 5 colleges and universities that call Newton home, along with many public parks/greenspaces, and a large running community. One of the oldest suburban commuting cities in the country, Newton real estate was built up long ago by wealthy commuters into Boston. Traditionally, Newton residents stay in their homes longer than the average homeowner. Many local and nationally notable people call Newton home.

Why use my search over Zillow and others?
- Not Glitchy (no ads, no freezing)
- You can save criteria and homes, and you won’t get annoying spam
- You can collaborate with me directly in the search without having to call, email, text separately (or app if you download their app) so I can know what you’re deal breakers are, questions and comments you have about your search, your rating of properties on a scale of 1-5, and more.
- Accurate info (straight from the MLS)
- Get emailed market reports (if you want) that are much cleaner and easier to read than those other websites, with heat maps and other helpful info
- Compare properties with corresponding photos next to each other for easy browsing (kitchen photos are all next to each other, and so forth)
