Discover Newton
Welcome to Newton, the 11th largest city in Massachusetts and home to more than 4,000 private, public, and nonprofit enterprises.
Some 54,000 people come to work in local offices, clinics, labs, classrooms, stores, restaurants, and service establishments.
City Hall is 13 miles west of Logan International Airport, 9 miles west of the Boston Common, and adjacent to Mile 19 of the Boston Marathon.
While Newton is largely a residential city, you'll find a range of commercial real estate opportunities in our walkable villages, in regional shopping centers, along busy corridors, and in placid office parks.
