Watertown blends riverfront scenery, inventive dining, and deep cultural roots, all minutes from Boston, Cambridge, and Newton. Daily life flows around the Charles River paths, where commuters bike to work as easily as families stroll at dusk. MBTA buses, car-free greenways, and quick highway access make getting around straightforward, whether you’re headed downtown or staying local for a night out.
Arsenal on the Charles has evolved into a hub for tech, healthcare, and the arts, anchored by the Mosesian Center for the Arts and next-door Arsenal Yards, a lively mix of restaurants, shops, and community events. On weekends, residents gravitate to riverside parks, the storied landscapes of Mount Auburn Cemetery, and neighborhood cafés that celebrate Watertown’s renowned Armenian and global culinary traditions. Seasonal festivals and public art add texture throughout the year, from outdoor concerts to gallery openings.
Families appreciate strong academics and a supportive community. Watertown Public Schools offer rigorous coursework, inclusive programs, and modernizing facilities. The historic Perkins School for the Blind contributes exceptional educational resources and a beautifully maintained campus. The Watertown Free Public Library anchors lifelong learning with robust programming, makerspaces, and study areas.
