"I have an affection for a great city. I feel safe in the neighborhood of man, and enjoy the sweet security of the streets." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (buried in Watertown)

If any city has a chance to give Boston a run for its money, it's Watertown. When the Declaration of Independence was signed, Watertown's population was larger than Boston's. Boston might have edged it out as the state capital in 1776, but Watertown kept all the benefits of New England life at its best -- minus the drawbacks of living in a major tourist destination.

Apartment Hunting in Watertown

A mere 19 minutes from Boston, Watertown is a gorgeous alternative when living in Boston feels like too much city. Don't expect housing to cost much less than Boston, though; Watertown real estate is not known for bargain pricing, and it is really tough to find an available apartment. That means you should start your apartment hunting as soon as possible, and be prepared to live in something small temporarily perhaps a studio apartment until your dream place opens up. The key to making a great match is all about who you know, so start putting feelers out to your network and ask friends and family to do the same. You are most likely to find the right apartment in a reasonable amount of time if you are referred by a friend (or a friend of a friend).

Watertown Square (City Center): You will find the most glamor and the highest prices if you make your home in Watertown Square (City Center).

Coolidge Square: Folks who want to enjoy the best of Watertown living without spending a fortune tend to find themselves in the Coolidge Square neighborhood. There is a just-right balance of nice neighbors and surroundings, attainable without forking over big bucks.
