And now a little bit about my city--Newton Massachusetts.  Newton, with over 85,000 residents (2012 Census) is comprised of 13 villages and all with a different flavor. The villages of Oak Hill and Thompsonville are included in the Newton Centre zip code of 02459. Being only 7 miles from the city of Boston and with top rated schools in the country and a very efficient transportation system, Newton is a top choice for people moving into or within the Greater Boston Area and is consistently ranked one of the best cities to live in (Money Magazine 2012).

THE VILLAGE OF OAK HILL PARK AND NEWTON CENTRE: 

               Tartufo                            Peets Coffee & Tea                         Union Street

The locals call this village "The Park." Oak Hill Park is a post-WWII subdivision built for returning G.I.s. 412 slab-ranch style homes were constructed on top of the quarry in the Oak Hill area. Oak Hill Park is bordered by the Charles River, Mount Ida College and Dedham Street, and shares the 02459 Zip Code with Newton Centre, Newton's largest village.

Newton Centre is a large commercial area bustling with a ton of restaurants such as Tartufo on Union Street which features fine Italian dining, B Street on Beacon Street with its very fresh food, and the 50’s theme diner, Johnny’s Luncheonette on Langley Road.  Shops and boutiques are scattered throughout the center and on Union Street which are a shopper’s and eater’s dream. There are several delicious ethnic restaurants such as Café St. Petersburg, Sapporo and Sol Azteca all on Union Street right across from the “T” stop. And my favorite coffee shop is Peet’s on Beacon Street at the corner of Langley. If you like Starbucks, have no fear because we have a Starbucks at the corner of Centre and Beacon Street. Find Homes for Sale in the Village of Oak Hill Park in Newton MA.
