I lived in Newton for the last decade, just bought a house and moved away. It’s nice if you can afford it! Safe, great location to the city. Schools are good, good for kids, but … it’s expensive. When I left my 1BR apt rent was 2k. My mortgage is 2k now in my 4BR house.

So yeah if you have money to live in Newton, Dover. Wellesley, Needham, Weston go for it!
