About Newton

Highlands

Newton Highlands, located between Chestnut Hill and Newton Centre, is a residential and village-style Newton neighborhood with a walkable commercial strip and a leafy, hill-and-pond landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Walnut Street and Lincoln Street crossroads, where espresso bars, indie salons, and small restaurants cluster under the Green Line tracks. The Newton Highlands Branch Library and the Newton Centre for the Arts act as cultural anchors, with seasonal programming that spills into nearby streets. Housing reads as classic Greater Boston: shingled Colonials, Tudors, and well-kept multifamily homes on curving side roads. Crystal Lake and Cold Spring Park set a calm, outdoorsy rhythm. The MBTA Green Line at Newton Highlands frames daily movement without overpowering the quiet blocks.
