New to the Suburbs, best place to Trick or Treat (Toddlers) around Lexington or Wellesley?

Submitted by overeasyeggplant t3_yifi3b in massachusetts

Hello,

I have a toddler and 6 year old to take Trick or Treating today. They will likely walk one street before the complaining of sore feet starts. Are there any streets in Lex or Wellesley (We live in one, work in the other) that are considered top spots.

I used to live in Cambridge and there were a few streets that would be amazing.

Any tips would be great.

Thanks!!

Your own street.

It’s hard on homeowners who live in neighborhoods that get crowds. It’s not fair to them.

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.
