Waltham is a diverse community with varied opportunities for
living, education, work and leisure. Founded in 1636 and settled as a
port city on the Charles River, eight miles northwest of downtown
Boston in Middlesex County. Its river has been used throughout history
for transportation, water and industry. Waltham was one of the earlier
centers of the industrial revolution. Dams were built along the
river for manufacturers to thrive. The first publicly owned textile
company was founded by Francis Cabot Lowell.
Waltham is also called the Watch City because of the Waltham
Watch Company founded in 1854 that later became the American Waltham
Watch Company. It is now home to The Sports Authority Center, a
practice and administration center. It has evolved and changed with
the economy and now sits in the heart of Boston's Route 128 high
technology corridor with a railway connecting it to Boston. It is
home to accredited public and private schools, large homes, and houses
increasing condo options.
Waltham represents a diverse community of housing needs and
choices. Southern Waltham is known for its "dense multi-family
developments" and the northern section known for its "larger single
family dwellings." Both areas include condominium and apartment
options. As Waltham's rebirth spreads its way from downtown there will
be more condominiums to choose from. Outlying areas are dotted with
office parks created by the high technology boom and lower rents. They
sit along highways next to restaurants, hotels, and occasional
residential communities of town homes and condos. Large parks,
recreational facilities, and landmarks like Prospect Hill Park and
Robert Treat Paine Estate abound. As Waltham continues to grow and
evolve it will become an even more desirable residential area, a great
place to buy a condo or build more development communities for buyers
that work in Boston and surrounding areas to discover.
Present day downtown Waltham offers entertainment, a variety of shops,
restaurants, and bars. It's up and coming mixed with condo and
apartment developments that combine the old with the new. The Watch
City Brewing Co., The Skellig, Jake's Dixie Roadhouse, the Lincoln L,
and the Embassy Cinema are all conveniently located downtown.
Waltham's main thoroughfare, Moody St., is bustling with traffic as
low and high end condos have been conveniently optioned near
downtown amenities and transportation, aiming to attract younger
professionals to the area and open "Restaurant Row" for more
condominium renovations and developments. The historic down town is
being "reborn" and only more condo conversions and developments will
follow.
Most one and two bedroom units are conversions, mostly apartments,
duplexes and older homes. They sometimes offer gardens, grounds, back
yards and open space with the ubiquitous newly refinished bathrooms
and kitchens as well as the not so newly refinished. Newer versions
showcase newer amenities: kitchens redone in oak, light paneling,
marble counter tops , bathrooms, larger windows, more light with more
fixtures along with old and new porches. Town homes and ranch style
homes at the high end are appearing in more newly developed
communities. With three bedrooms or more and more space they offer
living rooms, granite counter tops, central air, access to golfing ,
tennis facilities, a swimming pool and exercise facilities. Downtown
Waltham offers town homes on Myrtle Ave. New developments have risen
on Ash St. and there is a large apartment conversion (Northgate) that
includes a pool and tennis courts. Waltham is geared towards a steady
population increase with a variety of condo buyers.
