Located along the Charles River just west of Boston, Watertown combines historic architecture with contemporary living. The community of over 35,000 residents spans from Watertown Square to East Watertown and the West End, offering a variety of housing options from traditional New England homes to contemporary apartments along Arsenal Street. The Arsenal Yards development and Mosesian Center for the Arts serve as cultural anchors, while the area's Armenian heritage enriches the local dining scene.
Watertown provides convenient access to urban amenities while maintaining numerous green spaces. The Charles River paths offer walking and cycling opportunities, and Mount Auburn Cemetery's 151 acres feature landscaped grounds open to the public. The community sits just minutes from downtown Boston via multiple transportation options. Notable institutions include the Armenian Museum of America and the Perkins School for the Blind, established here in the 19th century. Watertown's history stretches back to 1630 as one of the first Massachusetts Bay Colony settlements, and it holds the distinction of staging the first protest against British taxation without representation. The transformation of the former Watertown Arsenal into a modern mixed-use development exemplifies how the area continues to evolve while honoring its historic roots.
