Reply to comment by therapeutic-distance in Moving to Greater Boston Area - Thoughts on Newton? by nomjs

Newton seems more city like…. More stuff happening and more people. Sherborn seems more country, my uncle lived in dover which is next town over and there didnt seem like a lot to do, just a few stores in the center, less people around.

Newton is better described as a collection of a half dozen villages each with a different vibe and co$t. It is polynuclear in a way that many other suburbs are not. Amenities in one are not found in another. Transit and walkability is also highly varied. Used to live there as a renter but could not afford to purchase there.

We have "NewMo" now, it's an on-demand municipal transportation service that picks you up and drops you off for $2.50 anywhere in Newton. I've used it a couple times and the drivers have all been super friendly too.
