About South
Side
South Side, located between Moody Street and the Charles River, is a residential and commercial Waltham neighborhood with walkable blocks and river-adjacent green space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Moody Street near Main Street, where independent restaurants, bakeries, and late-night dessert counters keep the sidewalks active. Brick multifamily houses and compact triple-deckers mix with small storefronts, giving the streetscape a classic mill-town rhythm. The Charles Riverwalk frames the edge with paths and water views that shape daily routines. The Embassy Cinema anchors local movie nights, while Gustazo Cuban Kitchen & Bar and The Gaff serve as familiar gathering spots.
