How much do you pay for rent in Newton?

I've lived in Sunset for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Decent public transit for the size
- The school system scene is average

The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for couples. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
