Grocery stores in Newton -recommendations?

Hey everyone, I grew up here but left for a while. Poverty rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.

I've been here 13 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is dating scene. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the job market is legit. And if you're into running, this place is pretty good.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Fairview side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

Public transit is excellent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I have mixed feelings honestly.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's not perfect but it works for me. Happy to answer more specific questions..
