No, its not Hollywood but its close. Newton, Massachusetts, may
offer the same level of glamour and allure as a cinema hotspot
(ever since its big-screen debut in the hit film Patriots
Day), but there are no special effects used on this
picture-perfect city. Take a walk past some stunning Newton homes

Though just seven miles west of Boston, this suburban
paradise falls under no shadow. Rather, it is consistently ranked
for its unmatched comfort and luxury. You can find Newton in
publications such as
Money Magazine and Liveability.com, rated as one

of cattle and colonies in the 1600s. With the completion of The
Boston and Worcester, one of Americas earliest railroads, commuters
rushed to Newton and never looked back. Stretching their arms wide
and building massive, sprawling estates, Bostons wealthiest flocked
to land for its beauty and convenience.
