Newton, Massachusetts is a leafy, walkable suburb just west of Boston with charming village centers, parks, bakeries and a strong local dining scene—comfortable, safe and lively enough to enjoy multi-week stays while still feeling like a home base.
For bigger-city nightlife, museums and major hospitals, Boston and Cambridge are an easy 10–20 minute drive or about 20–30 minutes by transit, so you get suburban calm plus quick access to urban amenities.
