Main St

Watertown was one of the first English settlements in the early 1600's. Today, the city (part of the Greater Boston area) is a charming and desirable setting along the Charles River. Watertown's West End is classic New England. Charming historic homes on tree-lined streets embody the charm of Boston and the surrounding areas. The rental market here is diverse, and outside of long-standing homes you'll find modern mid-rise apartments close to the river. West End is popular with families since it's just outside of the heart of the city, and residents have access to highly rated schools. Explore the history of the area at Browne House, or head closer to Watertown Square for more museums, parks, and shopping and dining options along Beacon Street.
