From Sperling's Best Places to live in the US we get this description of this area, 
Boston is widely viewed as the intellectual and historic capital of the United States. It is a cosmopolitan city with a complete set of services, a broad range of amenities, and a rich tradition and culture almost unmatched in the rest of the country. Sports teams that are continually good like teams like the Boston Bruins, New England Patriots, Boston Celtics and the Boston Red Sox always leave us something to talk about. Great colleges like Harvard, MIT, Boston College (which is actually in Newton), Boston University, Tufts, Brandeis, Emerson, and so many others provide our towns with a young and vibrant culture. In Newton, the feel is hip and family. Large homes are in every area. Luxury homes are plentiful.
MLS #: 71746470 114 Shornecliffe Road in Newton is a luxury home of 6810 square feet of both classic and contemporary feel blended seamlessly atop Farlow Hill in Newton Corner. This property was once part of one of the grandest farms in New England. The Kenricks had a farm with over 100 acres of land. From HistoricNewton.org we get this information, The Kenricks, John and his son, William (1789-1872), introduced North America to some of the most popular fruit still on the market today—Buerre Bosc and Bon Cretien pears, Noblesse and Early Rareripe peaches, Antwerp raspberries, and Duke of Kent strawberries. In addition, John Kenrick was an early abolitionist, publishing his book, Horrors of Slavery, in 1817, two decades before the anti-slavery movement inspired many of his fellow New Englanders. In 1829, William Kenrick was one of the founders of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
