The property features attractive landscaping, off-street parking and much more. We lease one and two bedroom apartments.

Waltham is the fine dining capital of the metro-west area. The region's finest shopping malls are a few miles away. And despite its proximity to Boston, Waltham is only minutes away from the rolling New England countryside, with farms and apple orchards. Historic Lexington and Concord are right next door.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
