Things that make Newton unique

OK so With a population of 88,504, Newton is a smaller city. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are solid, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I've lived in Midtown for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Active local events and festivals
- The pet-friendliness scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Chain restaurants dominate

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for remote workers. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
