Waltham Chamber of Commerce.

Waltham is such a welcoming city, you’ll feel connected to the community with events such as the annual Waltham Food and Wine Festival, the many unique cultural offerings, the Waltham Philharmonic Orchestra and the Waltham Symphony Orchestra.

Waltham offers high-end culinary experience; just walk over to Waltham’s “restaurant row” on Moody Street to indulge. There you’ll find everything from swanky steakhouses to Spanish tapas, and Indian buffets to fancy charcuterie.

Biking to work or running on the weekend along the Charles isn’t just for Boston residents. The river runs through Waltham too, and provides a great way for residents to get outdoors. There are many other ways to enjoy the great outdoors in Waltham, like the 250-acre Prospect Park, which includes great hiking trails and picnic tables. The City is also home to two major universities – Brandeis and Bentley – which both hold plenty of public events for locals to discover.

With easy access to Boston through two commuter rail stops and several exits along Route 128, Waltham is a convenient place to call home. There’s something for everyone in the housing market, too – from quaint Colonials to lofts in converted factories. A great walkable downtown gives that “city” vibe without the Boston price tag.
