Newton is really several different towns all under one umbrella yet expressing vastly different qualities. Newton is essentially a suburb, with excellent schools and a comprehensive program of recreational, educational, and social programming serving the needs of everyone from families, to college students, to the elderly, to the yuppie. Newton is extremely well located along the Mass Turnpike, just a few miles closer to Boston compared with Waltham. But Newton is decidedly affluent - unlike Waltham, and Newton Centre boasts some of the most expensive real estate in greater Boston. Auburndale is an affordable middle-class area, Waban and Chestnut Hill are quite affluent with large homes and Newton Corner is young urban working class, like Watertown to which it is adjacent. A special note: Chestnut Hill is actually annexed partly by Newton and partly by Brookline.
