Oak Hill - Newton, MA Area Guide
Niche Reviews 
Nestled against the Charles River 14 miles west of downtown Boston, Newton's Oak Hill neighborhood provides residents with a quiet residential community that has easy access to surrounding commercial centers. The area primarily contains single-family homes for rent amidst large swathes of green space for outdoor activities and relaxation. Oak Hill residents indulge in local produce grown at the neighborhood's Newton Community Farm, the last working farm in the city. Pick up fresh vegetables at the farmer's market, or sign up for the farm's Community Supported Agriculture program for a regular box of seasonal goods. You can learn more about the food you eat by joining your neighbors as a volunteer at the farm. On sunny mornings, jog the trails at the 55-acre Nahanton Park, or rent a kayak and paddle down the Charles River and behold the surrounding scenery.

The community is very family based. I go to college here so on the weekends many students go out into Boston. Overall its a good and safe area.

Lots of variety, especially because of the variety of ethnicities living in this city. There are a good amount of chain stores all over and nearby and accessible. Definitely a lot of local and ethnic cuisines as well. The city does a good job maintaining the local atmosphere, event with the accessibility of chains.
