Listed by Hans Brings RESULTS• Coldwell Banker Realty - Waltham
West End, located between Moody Street and the Charles River, is a residential and commercial Waltham neighborhood with a walkable main-street feel and riverfront green space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Moody Street near Main Street, where independent restaurants, bakeries, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks active into the evening. Longtime pillars include The Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation, The Gaff, and Tempo. Side streets mix triple-deckers, compact multifamily homes, and older storefront blocks that read as classic mill-town New England. Riverwalk segments and pocket parks add a calmer counterpoint to the dining corridor. MBTA Commuter Rail service at Waltham anchors regional connections.
