About

Highlands

Highlands, located between Main Street and Prospect Hill Park, is a residential and hillside Waltham neighborhood with triple-decker streetscapes and broad skyline views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Moody Street at Main Street, where independent restaurants, bakeries, and late-night coffee counters set a steady, walkable rhythm. Community pillars include The Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation, The Gnomon Workshop, and the Waltham Farmers’ Market. Side streets mix early-20th-century wood-frame homes with compact apartment buildings and pocket gardens. Prospect Hill Park’s paths and overlooks shape daily routines, while the Charles River corridor adds a scenic edge.
