And this extends to post-secondary education as well. Famously, Newton is home to both Boston College and Boston College Law School.
For a quiet place to study for students of all ages, nothing really matches the style and grandeur of Boston Free Library. The expansive building houses the largest library in Massachusetts in a classic example of neo-georgian architecture that is quite common in public and government buildings in the area.
Not surprisingly given its position as a suburban community, Newton real estate is made up of largely single-family homes on large lots. Overflowing with classic architecture, beautiful Tudor-style homes are common. Radiant red-brick exteriors dot the quiet suburban streets that gently wind under the shade of gorgeous mature trees.
It’s easy to see what makes Newton real estate so attractive, especially for those that work in the city. The small city provides a welcome breath of fresh air. Despite being among the most populous cities in Greater Boston, Newton’s small village layout has been able to maintain an irresistible small-town charm.
