About

Bleachery

Bleachery, located between Moody Street and the Charles River, is a historic and residential Waltham neighborhood with brick mill remnants and riverfront paths. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Moody Street near Crescent Street, where indie restaurants, coffee counters, and small storefronts keep sidewalks active. The Charles River Greenway frames daily routines with water views and a steady flow of walkers and cyclists. Former industrial buildings and compact multifamily streetscapes give the area a textured, lived-in look. The Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation and The GORE Place anchor local culture with hands-on history and preserved grounds. Gore Place Farm Stand adds a seasonal ritual that ties the neighborhood to its agricultural past.
