Reply to comment by goPACK17 in New to the Suburbs, best place to Trick or Treat (Toddlers) around Lexington or Wellesley? by overeasyeggplant
My own street is an apartment block full of singles, I assume that people who spend a fortune decorating etc.. enjoy having the kids visit. If I had a house I would certainly be happy to get visitors.

Pick a street one of your kid’s friends lives on, nearby with good housing density. Or, side streets in downtown Arlington. Or off downtown Lex, south side. There are serious hills on the north side.

The suburban home I grew up in down in Canton never got many visitors, moved to Watertown and got even less. When I'm finally ready to buy a home I think a good question for my realtor will be "What's the Halloween scene here like?"

I am in a “drop off kids from other neighborhoods”, or I was. It’s gone down a lot in recent years.

Also, there are “treat maps” on FB or NextDoor — that should give you an idea on a neighborhood to maximize visits without a ton of walking.
