Reply to comment by therapeutic-distance in Moving to Greater Boston Area - Thoughts on Newton? by nomjs

Second this, if you can afford Newton, all of MA is probably an option for you as well. Other walkable yet suburban towns around Boston: Watertown, Arlington, Lexington, Waltham. I think parts of Brookline may fit the bill as well, but that city is generally pretty urban.

Avoid Weston, Dover, Wellesley for the most part. Absolutely beautiful towns and extremely wealthy, but they're mostly residential and you wouldn't have much to walk to.

Wife would not be happy if nothing to walk to, so noted!

Newton does sound like a great option as well though, so best of luck and welcome to MA!

lexington and waltham are walkable... that is news to me.

Lexington is less dense than Wellesley and North Waltham which is the expensive part of town is just Lexington lite.

Arlington and Watertown are more walkable though.
