NEWTON IS A NICE SAFE CITY, THAT'S A SUBURB OF BOSTON. THEY HAVE ALOT OF PLACES TO EAT, AND SHOP, I JUST WISH THE CITY WOULD STOP SIGNS AT THE END OF EVERY STREET!

NEWTON IS A VERY NICE AND SAFE CITY TO LIVE, I WISH THE CITY PUT PUT STOP SIGNS AT THE END OF ALL STREETS, OR AT LEAST STENCIL STOP AT THE END OF THE STREET! PEOPLE SEE NO STOP SIGN AND THEY THINK THEY DON'T HAVE TO STOP! SOMEONE IS GOING GET HURT OR KILLED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT!

IN NEWTON THEY BIG SPENDERS PUTTING UP A NEW HIGH SCHOOL, WHILE THE OLD ON WASN'T EVEN 40 YEARS OLD! BUT THEY WON'T SPEND MONEY TO PUT UP STOP SIGNS AT THE END OF EVERY STREET! SOMEONE DIDN'T KNOW A STREET ENDED AND DROVE UP MY STAIRS AND DAMAGED MY HOUSE!

I GREW UP HERE, IT IS A VERY SAFE CITY INTERMS OF CRIME. I WISH THE CITY WOULD PUT STOP SIGNS ON ALL STREETS, BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T SEE A STOP SIGN AND THEY THINK THEY DON.T HAVE TO STOP

Very economically wealthy and the neighborhoods make sure to flaunt it. If you don’t have a car, you cannot go anywhere unless you’re lucky enough to live by the one train stop or have enough time to wait for a bus that comes once every forty-five minutes. If you are middle class, you will feel poor. No visibly homeless people live here. Everything involving the school system requires money.

It's a white town. With an average tolerance towards diversity. Most schools are good cademically but have less exposure to diversity. For example, schools like Countryside Elementary School in Newton Highlands are biased towards the Jewish Student body compare to students coming from other religious background. This should be changed. Sometimes I feel they they are trying to make their students too uptight at a young age.

Newton, Massachusetts is a safe, family-oriented city just 5 miles outside of Boston. Due to it's safety, and it's stellar public schools, it is incredibly expensive to live here. The median cost for a home in Newton is over 1 million dollars!
I work as a teacher's aide here and although it's an outstanding public school system, there's practically no diversity when it comes to the educators. I still love working here; I just wish there were more people of color on staff.
Overall Newton, Massachusetts is a great place to work, live and go to school, and I'm fortunate for the opportunity to work here.
