The Newton Highlands is an eclectic neighborhood with a mix of old and new. Once described in the Newton times as “Victorian coziness and sensual hodge-podge”, you will find a main street full of unique shops, restaurants, and antiques as well as Northland, a redevelopment project located at the end of Needham Street and Oak Street in Newton Highlands. The Northland project is a mixed-use redevelopment project. The highlands are also home to Crystal Lake, a great pond open for both swimming and swimming lessons. There’s a bathhouse on site and lifeguards for safety with designated areas based on swimming abilities.
Katherine’s favorite places in Newton Highlands include Salon Capri, Hyde Park, Lincoln Street Shops, Coco Nails, Newton Eye Care, O’Hara’s Irish Pub, and Buttonwood.
