Centrally located with convenient access to Cambridge, Boston and all points around Greater Boston, Watertown maintains its early American, working class and ethnic roots while rapidly evolving into a tech, food, and shopping hub. Watertown is walkable and eclectic, with good schools, multi-family and apartment-style condos and single family homes, some in neighborhoods that rival Belmont’s in elegance, architecture, and space. The Mosesian Center for the Arts, located in the historic and hip Arsenal complex, is the home of the New Repertory Theater Company and the highly regarded Watertown Children’s Theater. The Charles River, which runs through Watertown, abounds with walkers, bikers, rowers and canoes year round.
