What it’s like to live in North Waltham
Suburban convenience defines North Waltham, where rental options provide significantly more space than Boston proper while maintaining reasonable commuting possibilities. The district surrounds multiple conservation areas creating unexpected natural beauty within this urban setting, while the nearby Route 128 technology corridor provides employment opportunities without requiring downtown Boston commutes. Though requiring vehicle ownership for most daily needs, excellent commuter rail service creates car-optional commuting possibilities to both Boston employment and Cambridge innovation centers – advantages increasingly valued as fuel costs and parking expenses continue affecting overall housing affordability calculations. The neighborhood's excellent school reputation attracts families seeking quality education without premium pricing, while the strategic positioning provides reasonable access to both urban amenities and suburban convenience without excessive commutes in either direction.

Living in Waltham, MA

Waltham made its name in the watch business. Also in the brass automobile business when car (called motocycles then) fittings were still old fashioned (like the big bug-eyed lamps used as headlights). Motocycles are long gone, but Waltham is still home to bug-eyed incoming freshman of Brandeis and Bentley – and a city that has seen a massive transformation as a dining and cultural escape – even for nearby Bostonians.

With its roots deeply set in the industrial revolution, Waltham developed as an urban center outside the metropolitan Boston area
