[quote=Anonymous]Newton is not "urban living" I rented a room there for a summer during graduate school and it was hellishly suburban and far from everything. I did NOT feel as if I were in a city at all, and I definitely needed a car (and didn't have one then). Later, I spoke with a woman from Germany who had moved with her family to Newton. She said that if she were to do it all again, she wouldn't live there because it was not urban enough for her and because there were no kids her sons' ages on their street, so she was spending a lot of time driving kids around so her children could socialize. Newton/Chestnut Hill are great if you are into the suburban vibe, but you said you aren't. I also lived for two years in the Back Bay, and that was amazing: urban living at its best. [/quote]
