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.

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.
As of April 2025, the average apartment rent in Oak Hill is $3,684 for one bedroom, and $7,461 for two bedrooms. Apartment rent in Oak Hill has decreased by -12.1% in the past year.

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.

Lots of history in Newton, especially because it is so close to Boston. There are lots of local shops and parks and historical areas to hang out in or view historical points of interest. People are attracted to the area because of the great friendly community and the vicinity to Boston I would say.
