My glamorous hood=Newton, Mass

I come from a boston suburb called newton, located about 5 miles out of boston, which is considered one of largest cities in the state with around 80,000 people (or so it used to be).It once used to be part of cambridge one of the oldest parts of boston and derived its name from"New Town" what it once was. though most would consider newton center to be its main center, newton is so big, it sprawls over what are known as the "13 villages" or different districts of newton. My house has the zip code for chestnut hill 02467, one of the  newton villages, but it also borders newton center district.

an affluent suburb known for its great public schools/private schools it was voted #1 safest city in the country when i was in high school 2004-2005 (which we found pretty random but cool). it;'s referenced by some as "jewton" for its large jewish population but has representation of many ethnicities and religious affiliations.

The natural landscape and layout of the city is beautiful- very well groomed and preserved . It houses has many public parks, ponds, rivers, forest reserves, historic landmarks and many a golf clubs. Charles river which is a river that stretches through the city of boston has sections that meander through newton's parks and hiking trails. A well known natural landmark in the city is crystal lake alongside a historic site echo bridge which has been around since the 19th century known for its mysterious echos and pedestrian walkway atop it. Different sections of the city depending on the local of the village were developed at different points in time, therefore a result in various architectural development are rather visible. Sections of the city are lined with old historic victorian mansions, colonial homes, or completely newly renovated or constructed modern creations.

The layout of the city perhaps  represents the settlers inhabiting the region during colonization. Some of the different boroughs i believe developed throughout the mid-late 19th century like much of new england, and came to mimick colonies and the architecture in england from which they came. The villages and boroughs i previously discussed all have different feels to them, depending on the time in which they developed. Waban and Newton Highlands house some of the oldest homes in newton many of which are victorian and there are areas which have many old tutor homes. 

Also random fun trivia we also share the city with some noteworthy inhabitants: a long list of nobel prize winners, Jim from the office- john krasinski who went to my highschool, Howard Zinn, Matt Damon and a whole lota red sox players like the big papi ortiz:-)
