Housing & Opportunity

A diverse range of homes for families, for people who work in Newton to live in Newton, for staying in Newton when down sizing, and for our adult children to return to live here.

Housing & Community

Thriving villages, people living in the village and nearby, public gathering spaces all help build a strong and welcoming community in Newton.

Housing & Sustainability

Living near transit, and villages helps reduce our dependence on cars. Safer streets makes it easier for walkers and bikers to get to school, go to a village or see friends.
