Newton Highlands, Newton

Newton Highlands was once an agricultural neighborhood, similar to most of the area in Newton, but today offers a small commercial district amid a significantly residential neighborhood. June is my favorite time of year to visit Newton Highlands because the annual Village Day is hosted in Newton Highlands. The celebration includes a large number of local crafters, vendors, a taste of local food, local entertainment and bands, and the popular three mile race. This is a local festival you do not want to miss if you are in Newton Highlands at the time of the celebration.

The best place for coffee in Newton Highlands is the Lincoln Street Coffee café. Surrounding the coffee shop is the large number of antique stores and local shops. One of the most notable local shops is Marcia & Bea Antiques. The neighborhood is scattered with antique shops and second-hand stores filled with yesterday’s treasures.
